Packing, Getting Ready

This week has been crazy with so many things happening. The days seem like they are flying by. I came home from Eugene on Saturday night after working at graduation with UO catering. i have been saying this a lot lately, but you never really know how much stuff you have until you try to move it somewhere. Needless to say, i have a lot of stuff. But I was able to move it all home. So now I am unpacking and repacking for Senegal during the day, and seeing friends in the evenings.
I am a basketfull of emotions now: anxious, excited, nervous, hopeful, slightly pschitzofrenic. All is well though. I am genuinely happy to have the opportunity to study abroad and experience a new culture from within the country by taking part in everyday activities and working alongside its citizens. There is more to come!
