Procrastinating Like a Boss

Right, so I've never really been the journaling type, so for those of you friends and family who want to read about my Africa adventures, bear with me!

I am currently sitting in my room on the 4th floor of Old Dorm, staring at the mound of clothes and tangled cords that have to fit in my pathetically small suitcase. Yikes. Instead of trying to work through this self-inflicted chaos, I decided the best remedy was to seek refuge behind my computer and peek out occasionally with the hope that my suitcase will have magically packed itself.

So here I am, procrastinating away in the wee hours of the night, my flight a mere 12 hours from now. It's impossible for me to express how excited I am about this trip. David (learning to call him by his first name has been quite a challenge after taking his classes for so long) and I have been planning it for the better part of the school year.

We're going to South Africa, Madagascar, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi, Tanzania, Kenya, Ethiopia, Comoros, Oman, and Sri Lanka. While this isn't too long of a trip for David, it's the longest I will have ever traveled outside the states.

It was very difficult saying goodbye to some folks today, but as it's graduation it's already quite an emotional day.

Zut alors! My suitcase is being belligerent and refusing to pack itself. I should probably get back to work.

My next post will be from Africa! I promise it'll be a bit more coherent.
