Pre-departure

Ok so- I have yet to actually go to Kenya, or even Africa that matter. But I thought I would start with blabbering some pre-departure ideas of how the next few weeks are going to work. Now I am no writer (as I'm sure you could tell, if you don't know that about me already), but I am a pretty damn good list maker. So here is a list of how I suspect my next two weeks will be, before I start my semester in Nairobi, Kenya.

List #1: Being too busy all of the time.

• packing my apartment- good luck to me, right?
• getting the rest of my shots- ouch.
• packing for 4 months in two bags- easier said than done.
• saying goodbyes, both in MapSo and DC (tears will be shed)
• read- haha, right like i have time, maybe I'll make time this book Bitch: In Praise of Difficult Women has me captivated (jokes aside please) 
• figure out my phone/internet/ technology situation abroad
• eat at 3 crucial places: Roots, Bagel Chateau, and of course, Panera. 

That's just the start of what has to be done in the next 14 days. 

Oh also, I should give a shout out to my oh so clever friends and their ideas for my blog's name, the winner will still get a prize, but i'm still keeping it open until I actually leave, then the blog name will be official. so far we have (see photo)

So keep brainstorming friends!

and don't forget to smile today.
