10 Days Left!!!

Well well well.. It’s been a while since I posted something here. I received my staging materials 2 weeks ago and have received my itinerary for Malawi. I only have 10 days left before I move to the Warm Heart of Africa! Malawi! I have been so busy these past few weeks from:

• Buying stuff I need (Mostly electronics)
• Cleaning my room
• Work
• Packing
• Unpacking
• Reading blogs
• Downloading movies. So far I have over 700 movies
• Downloading music. I will probably stop at 50k

I am really overwhelmed with all the things that I have to bring and PC only allows 1 carry-on bag and 2 checked-in bags with a combined weight of 80lbs. I am still debating on whether I should bring a tent and a sleeping bag. Maybe just a sleeping bag. We’ll see.

To sum up the things that I have been doing before the trip:

• Spending time with friends and family
• Staying home… but I guess you can consider this spending time with family
• Eating
• Eating a lot of frozen treats
• Working
• Snowboarding…. a lot!
• Gained almost 15lbs… I am really feeling it!
• Finished 6 seasons of “How I Met Your Mother”

That’s pretty much it!

My next blog post will be on how to contact me and what to expect during Pre-Service Training (PST)
