Bon Voyage, Folks!

Bukoba here I come!

...eventually, in 4 days after 3 flights and a ferry.

With a breakfast in bed of strawberries and cream with crumbled peanut butter cups (compliments of my momma), my last hot shower for weeks, a visit from my favorite auntie,  and 3 very full & heavy bags, I have been sufficiently spoiled and am ready to go! Forget what I said about those online browsing charges (you're welcome, Dad), grades are up and posted. Another successful semester! Organic chemistry gave me a run for my money, but seeing that A was like a sweet victory (am I right, Chris and Ian?! We need to throw ourselves a celebration when I get home). The 4.0 calmed my nerves for about two and a half minutes until I realized I am leaving...for Africa..for six weeks....in just hours. Wow. I was clearly a fool for thinking the "no-anxiety" feeling would last. Let me tell you, its not!! It will be a miracle if my mom and I can have a dry eyed departure at the airport...

Despite the nerves, I can hardly sit here and write this right now! Brimming with excitement as well :)

I'm off! xoxo

  1. Well Carly, we did pretty good keeping it "dry eyed" at the airport. Who couldn't get wrapped up in all the excitement that's been happening for the past few day?! But it was a different story when I got home and saw the beautiful card you left for me. The flood gates then but only for a moment. :) I can't wait to hear about your first adventure in Amsterdam! XOXO
