Just a Week Until Take-Off!
Well, here we are, blog entry number one. It seems so surreal that there is only one week until Laura and I board our flights to Tanzania (via a few other stops, of course). I've spent the last few days trying to take care of last minute details, beginning to think about packing, and wondering where the time has gone since last February when I applied to study abroad. About now is when the nerves are starting to hit. I don't really know what to expect, which always puts me a little on edge. I get very excited when I think about the months ahead, all of the new experiences and people that I'm about to encounter. But that doesn't really cancel out the apprehension which comes along with the excitement. Overall, I'm looking forward to finding out what exactly I've gotten myself into.

You will both have an amazing time! Enjoy it all! The people are incredible. Make sure to take the time to get to know as many people as you can. And journal! That's the one thing I wish I would have done more of while I was there.
ReplyDeleteOne more thing...short swahili lesson..hakuna matata actually means no fight. Hakuna shida means no worries. Impress your swahili teachers with that!
