Note 6

It is currently according to my clock on here 12:02 in the A.M. on Tuesday October 20th, 2009. That is right, per plan I shall board a plane for Philly in a handful of hours and continue this journey I started back in January. Tonight I have said goodbye to many friends and family via text, internet, and phonecalls... i tucked in my two nephews whom I adore for the last time for a long time and have packed my bags and they wait by the back door. I carry on weighing roughly 30 lbs.. one big duffle to be checked weighing 48.5 lbs.. and a personal item in the form of a camera bag...

Current feeling? Somewhere between about to pee myself and about to cry.... I has sunk in that I will be gone for two years... pardon the expression but shit...

The other day at Kinkos a funny thing happened.. as I picked up a packet of Peace Corps stuff the guy behind the counter commented that the lady I passed on the way in picked up the same packet.. so potentially (unless he was loco) I will be on the same plane as said lady... yay!

I am trying to remember if I was this nervous last summer as I prepared to leave for Botswana... however I can't remember... I do know that I feel like a new sunrise is soon to come in my life and I am taken back emotionally to Kgale hill in Gaborone... the place where I made the promise to myself that I will return to Africa and I will live abroad.... this goal comes true starting tomm.

To all my friends and family.. know that through the years though I might not have shown it the best I do love each and every one of you... everyone I have encountered from those I have held close to those I have casually passed has had an affect on my life... and I hope I have had an effect on yours. Thank you for being my world.

Here goes an adventure.. here goes everything!
