Ready...Set...

Hello!
Even though the idea of having a blog makes me snicker, it seemed to be a more convenient and less annoying way to report on my time in Senegal than mass emails. This way you don't have to feel guilty for deleting me from your inbox, and I don't have to take up precious space there in the first place. I leave in very very soon. I'm an understandable combination of nervous and excited, but I know it's going to be a pretty fabulous experience. I'll have my computer with me so email, Skype, and blog will be mostly accessible. Keep in touch everyone, just as I will be sure to do.
