I am SO excited! The only things I have left to do are to get my visa, which I'm mailing off tomorrow, and take the typhoid and malaria meds which I'll do next week. I'm not looking forward to packing and getting all of the supplies that I'll need. Finals week is going to be stressful with last minute preparations as well as studying for exams. I do have one exam the morning of December 18th which I will have to reschedule. The professor didn't seem to think that's going to be a big deal Yay!
CCS has been great staying in touch with me. I get phone calls every once in a while from them and lots of emails with information. Today, I got an email with a PowerPoint presentation attached about my program specifically. And a conference call is going to be set up for all of the volunteers. We've already emailed each other and it looks like someone else is going to be on the flight with me and Madeline! I don't know why type of volunteering I'll be doing for another couple of weeks, but I'll happily serve wherever I can.
Who's Madeline? I found her on a CCS facebook group early last summer. We're going to be there the same time, so we actually planned our flights together. She's from Albany, NY, and is studying social work. We've been in touch ever since about our preparations and it's been great to have someone to ask "How'd you do this? What'd you do for that?"
Enough for now. Off to work. :) Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
