So I leave in about 24 hours!!! Ahhh. I am so excited, nervous, anxious, and so many other feelings that are hard to put into words. The phone calls are great! Keep them coming. I spoke with ma tante Ro last night for a while and Uncle Wayne! I love their phone calls... and thanks to Skype while I am away every one can call- I can call too! Ask me for the number... I will not post for good reasons- but email me and I will give it to you.
Yesterday, Thursday night, and Wednesday I work. Can I just say what has happened? I think it might be the full moon coming. Teens are getting even more crazy everyday- but I still love my work at the library.
So last Saturday I had my local "see you soon" party- it was great to have friends and family together one last time before I depart. I was so happy with the "variety" of my friends who came. It is hard to believe that I have know some of these people for almost 10 years. I feel old now but so young and full of life!
So the upcoming travel is of this: Sunday I leave Portland at 3pm, Arrive in NYC at 4ish. I leave NYC at 1030pm EST arrive in London at 1030am their time and then leave there at 2pm and arrive in Ghana at 830pm their time! Lets just say I CANT WAIT!!!!! I still haven't heard anything about our orientation schedule but I believe we start on Tuesday- I will try to update my blog ASAP maybe with some pictures but I am not sure when I will be able to get online and update- So be patient...but I swear I will be better on regularity of entries especially for Ro because she keeps reminding me that I am not very good at it ;-)
Everyone that I have talked to on Facebook, etc seem extremely nice and it is assuring that if stuff happens we will get through it. It is just like going to Southern my first semester but soo much further away.
So the skype thing to go back to that- Remember that I am 5 hours ahead. If I do not answer leave me a message with the time (local) that you want me to call you- phone tag will not be as easy- but leave me a time when you will be near your phone...Thanks.
So i guess that is it. Over and out-
Love you all, Midge
