ok, well my post-christmas blues have set in (somehow the older i get the more it seems like there is all this hype leading up to the holidays and then boom! it's over) and my stress level is slowly building. i cannot believe that (weather and airline permitting) i will be in ghana a week from today. that's crazy! i have done a lot but still have a ton to do and i feel like i am really running out of time. i am also starting to wonder how i am going to manage being away from everyone for 10 weeks and having no running water or electricity. for sure, it will be an amazing adventure but i just have to get there first. fortunately, i've been in contact with some former volunteers as well as 2 volunteers who will be in the same general area around the time i will be there. that makes me feel a little better i think. in case i forget to send this out here's my mailing address for while i'm gone (letters from home are always appreciated!).
