Countdown to Rwanda: 3 Days

I'm starting to feel it now, that "hit" you feeling...I'm really headed to AFRICA in 3 days. It's pretty surreal. I still don't really know what to expect when I get off the airplane. It's going to be quite an adventure getting there in itself. Luckily, Zach and I are on the same flight out of Brussels so we get to talk about AITI for a whole 8 hours! :) If nothing else, I'm glad I'll have company. Python is...coming along. The important thing is that I feel like I'm *learning* and I think I am in decent shape to tackle at least the first few weeks in Rwanda.

The only thing I really have on my mind right now is, "What do I need to grab before I go to Africa"? I'm dreading Thursday when I have to start taking my malaria pills...I've never swallowed a pill before in my life. Not Advil. Not Tylenol. Nothing. I remember the doctor laughing at me once when I was 18 asking for the liquid version of the medication she was prescribing. She told me it would be a useful skill to know and now it's coming back to bite me in the a**. Oh well, hopefully it's quick and painless. I just don't want malaria!

There's still so much to learn, so many people to hang with, so much food to eat and so many things to buy before I go....ready....set....GO!
