Long Time Comin'

Approximately 20 minutes remain until we get on the plane to leave to go to Paris and then to Cotonou, Benin! Lots of excitement is in the air, and I have so much anticipation about what the next 9 weeks of pre-service training and then the rest of the two years will bring. Yesterday brought another day of lots to do highlighted mainly by meeting lots of great, wonderful people. Everyone here is so nice and so easy to talk to about anything, and it's great to have this big of a support system around for something this big. My only complaint so far is that they put me on Doxycycline (a once a day pill) for malaria and one of the side effects is that it increases sensitivity to the sun. Great! As if I didn't already have problems with my skin burning! haha : ) Oh well, I think I'll learn to manage. Anyway. The time is approaching! Love
