The beginning of the BEGINNING

I finally made it to my staging today.... It has been a veryyy long day but a good one at that! I got here (Philadelphia) this morning sooo early. Luckily i was able to check into my room early and squeeze in a much needed nap. I made it down to orientation and sat through hours of mind blowingly boring lectures. We basically went over all the rules and paperwork today. Tomorrow hopefully something cool happens... Im just wating for someone to freak out and have a panic attack and get shipped home... it wont be me btw! Dont get any ideas :) I dont think anything exciting will be happening until Wednesday. We will be catching a bus to New York and going to get vaccinations.... then flying out. I wont be writing again until i get in Senegal. Just thought i would let everyone know i made it and everything is going well... Hope all is well in Indiana!

A few last good-byes.....

Well... today is my last day of work. I know i have a million things to be doing within the next half hour but i just wanted to take a minute to write a very big thank you to all of my co-workers at Harrison County Hospital. I LOVE the camera and have spent half the day eating cookies and other goodies. I really appreciate everything. :):):) Also, thanks to everyone that went out for sushi last night... VERY nice!

I will be flying out Monday morning...this is getting weird! Unfortunately i dont have anything too exciting to be writing about like sugarplum fairies and snicker doodles (Sarah) but hopefully my blog will be filled with a little more entertainment in the near future!

Also, Angie, MC Hammer WILL be making it to Senegal... dont worry... You work on the Roger Rabbit and i will work on my "Cant Touch This".... i think there are plenty of African children that need to know about him!

More to come soon!
