When are you leaving Toledo? ...around May 1.

When do you really leave for Africa? ...June 6th is the latest date I have. The Peace Corps doesn't seem to be too worried about punctuality or timeliness.

What will you do between May 1 and June 6? ...Hang with my mom, my sister, and some cousins...say some long goodbyes...

Will you have email? ...I probably COULD have access to email, but part of this journey for me is simplifying, so I won't be taking a computer or checking email.

What are you taking with you? ...Well, I'm allowed to take 80 lbs. of stuff with me. Right now, it looks like it will be mostly clothes, shoes, CDs, books, medicines, stationery, and "survival" gear.

Are you scared? ...Terrified. But still excited, and still sure this is what I'm called to do.
