One week...count it....1 week until I'm on a plane to Philly for staging, then shortly after a bus to NY then another plane to Africa.
Has it hit me yet? Nope not at all. I've been waiting for this for so long that I'm just ready to go. Don't get me wrong there are going to be a few things I miss like a few family members(yup just a few haha), few friends, CAMP(going to be weird to not have it in my life at all), french fries:), and being able to be as liberal as I wish to be. But I am looking forward to sooo many things that I can't really be sad about these things. I'm looking forward to living a simple life, learning a new culture and language, no stress from my family, learning more about myself and seeing just how much I can handle, and not having to deal with expensive gas prices! ha there are many other things but I'm sure I'll write about these things later.
A few of you asked me about my address, I'm sorry I'm so slow to get it to you but here it is:
Wykia Macon
c/o Peace Corps Kenya
P.O. Box 698 – 00621
Nairobi, Kenya
I'll put a lovely wish list up later if you really feel generous and want to send me a letter or some yummy food or whatever it may be.
Ok enough of this for now...hopefully I can keep this thing up to date!
