Hi everyone, in a little over a week I will be heading to Botswana!! It hasn't yet hit me that I am actually going to be on another continent for four months, but I'm glad I've gotten to spend time at home before I leave. Today is Christmas and most of my gifts were things I would need to take with me, so I have started thinking more about packing, and actually leaving! So crazy. I'm really excited for this opportunity, but I'm also nervous about being away from home for so long.. I'm a big home-body. At least Jon is coming with me, so I will have something from home. Currently we are awaiting news from anyone, both Global ed, and UB have been exxtreeemmellly slow in responding to anything. I have so little faith in our global education center, no one I know has had good experiences there, so at this point I'll just be happy if I end up in the correct country. We'll find out soon!
