Near Future

Sitting in bed anticipating the journey to come.  There is still a lot I have to do before I leave, and the waiting is the worst of all.  Africa is now very near and I want to make sure all my planning is complete well before departure.  Even though I'm right on track It feels like there is something else I'm forgetting to do.  All the paperwork is submitted and now I wait for acceptance letters, scholarship notifications, and get many shots. Ouch! Nevertheless, I'm stoked and I'm trying to let the idea set in that Tanzanian soil will be under my feet in the very near future.
