Getting ready for a trip abroad for the entire semester is unbelievable.
Right now - I need to work on my visa and get my plane ticket booked.
One of my closest friends is in Rwanda already... she arrived a few days ago and started blogging her experience. Just reading her stories in the past three days has put butterflies in my stomach. I can't wait to go.
I went to the health center here at TCU to get my physical for the trip and the doctor was just hilarious. He was so concerned with my well being on this exotic trip and wanted to make sure that I knew all the places I could buy important things like disposable toilet-seat covers and sundresses that can be crumpled up to fit in my hand and easily washed and laid out for a wrinkle-free finish! He was so sweet and meant well but there were a few times I had to laugh because I realized - people really do think I am crazy for going on this trip...
The travel clinic is my next stop for vaccines and what not - I'm sure that will provide me with a story or two to tell. I hear the Yellow Fever shot hurts like the Dickens... and I hear the malaria pills can cause you to hallucinate or have nightmares... it will BE an experience.
I know it is important and worth it so it doesn't bother me. These are things that need to be done and I am happy to do them.
The preparations never cease it seems.

That's offensive. Some of us happen to like Dickens.
