I am so excited for my trip to South Africa! I got my first vaccination yesterday. I have to get my final one next week. After the shot yesterday I realized how close I am to leaving the country for 3 plus weeks.
With this tons of people have been warning, congratulating, and questioning me. My dad has been really cautious. I called to ask him if I had the Hep B shots already. Of course like I thought he had no idea, but then he goes on to say get it anyways and to make sure I get several other shots, the doctor already told me I didn't need to get.
A friend of mine ask a question that made me think. She asked how I think my son will feel about me being gone for so long, in all the excitement I had never really truly thought of that. I mean I know he was going to miss me, but I never thought fully how this is going to effect him. I kind of got sad, but then I realized how this will not only be a learning experience that will benefit me, but him as well.
And hey! There's always skype!
I just feel a bit swamped with the semester coming to an end and preparing for this amazing trip. My biggest concern right now is compiling a list of people I need to bring things back for, and deciding on what to get my host family. Oh and of course getting the work assignments done before our next predeparture meeting.
