Ok, so I feel obligated to preface this blog by explaining that it will most likely not be updated frequently. I am preparing to leave for Madagascar to serve with the Peace Corps for over two years, and I am only going to have occasional internet access. I have never been much of a blogger in the past; never had one myself and never really followed others. But I decided that this was a good way to keep the people I love updating on all of the crazy things happening to me overseas. So I can't promise witty and entertaining thoughts or correct grammar or anything, get over it Shell (on the grammar thing...you get it).
Just a quick description of things going through my head now... fiadsfieshrenfkldljklmkfdlh!! I still haven't actually packed my bags for real. I still have to pick out pictures of home and put the music I will need on my Ipod, and generally I am going insane. I hate packing/leaving. You always feel rushed and unprepared. But at least I have now accomplished this goal of starting my blog.
I am not sure when the next time I will get a chance to update this is, so I here is a quick over view of my plans. I leave on Sunday morning at 7:30 for the airport. I arrive at 11 something in Phili for orientation. Then I have a few days there introducing me to what I am getting myself into. On Oct 2nd (I think, might be the 1st or 3rd), we drive up to New York to promtly get on a 17 HOUR flight to Johanesberg. I have no concept of what 17 hours in a plane feels like, but I guess I will survive. Then it is a quick over night, and off to Madagascar. Wish me luck everyone!! Ok, time to go fret about my bags more.
