So I guess my break is over. (technically its not, because after this post I will be leaving for Ghana and probably won't have internet access for a couple of days. maybe weeks. maybe months. but whose counting right?) 

Anyways, I tried to hang out with my family/friends as much as possible.

and tried to eat as much bacon as one can consume without having a heart attack.

I think I did pretty well. 

So it finally hit me today at the end of our orientation that I'M FRICKEN LEAVING THE UNITED STATES FOR GHANA!!

but, I'm super excited.  

The group of people that I'm going with seem super awesome, we are all around the same age, they have a pretty good sense of humor, seem to be well rounded/educated, likes to party, and best of all... I'm not the only asian!!  

and yes Lauryn, us asians love to cling to each other. (:

jk, but seriously, I'm happy that I'm not the only asian. 

Tomorrow we leave at 6:30 to go to this clinic to get a shot for Yellow Fever. 

and we take our first dose of the malaria pills. 

then, we are off to JFK for our 11 hour plan ride to Ghana.

from then, I'm not sure what I'm expecting. 

maybe all hell to break loose? 

who knows.

all I know is... tonight is my last night that I will be in America for a while, and I'm glad that I got to have some tequila before I go... so much for detoxing right? 

the beginning of the end.

so i'm going to try my best to be faithful to you (my lovely readers) over the next 27 months. 

with that being said, i'm now going to be unfaithful to you these next couple of days to get these things accomplished:

a.) packing my life away.

b.) eating bacon. 

c.) seeing family/friends.

d.) repeating b and c.

xoxo.
