I am officially at the less-than-one-month-before-I-leave-Florida mark...crazy, huh? Time has definitely gone into warp speed these past few months. Now that school's out (and I've graduated(!!)) I've been working on visiting family and hanging out with friends as much as possible, in addition to trying to move out of my apartment this week. Busy busy!
I'm so thankful I started packing as soon as I got my invitation, because that has taken a lot of stress off of me when it comes to PC stuff. I got to book my flights to Philadelphia the other day, which instantly made this feel really real. I also brought my cat to my sister's and that made it feel even more real (and heartbreaking). I'm gonna miss that little man like whoa.
So... 30 days until I arrive in Philly for staging, 31 days until I leave for NY to board a plane to Cotonou, and 32 days until I land in Benin!! Currently I'm like 99% crazy excited and 1% sad about leaving everyone I love for two years (but it's only two years...we got this!). I'm not nervous at all...that will probably hit me on the 14+ hours of plane ride I'll have to Africa.
Congratulations on making it to Benin safely. It sounds like your first few days have been long but great.
