Hujambo! (hello!)

habari gani? (how are you)

Africa. Right now, even at two months and counting, it seems so far away. It probably has to do with the GRE I still have to take, the vet school applications I still have yet to submit and the class I have to finish before I become an official college graduate. Yet, probably even after all of this is finished, it probably won't really hit me until I'm about to board the flight to Nairobi from London that I will be spending 11 1/2 weeks of my life in Africa. 11 1/2 weeks of a completely different lifestyle than I have ever experienced. I can't even begin to imagine what it will be like. I'm excited for the unknown though. Especially after talking to SIC veterans. I'm so lucky. To be able to even take a trip like this. To have, what I think will be the experience of a lifetime. So to document every moment, and so I can keep in touch with all of you, I will be blogging while in Africa (we get weekends to come into town where there are internet cafes). Thanks to Mr. Kugizaki for the suggestion :)
