Tomorrow is the day I leave for Tanzania, Africa. I can't believe it. I have been thinking about this trip my whole senior year. I will be gone from June 12th to July 7th. If you can't do simple estimations, this period of time amounts to a month...which means I basically need my whole closet and bathroom to come along with me.
Condensing all of my useless stuff into a suitcase, a carry-on, and a backpack is nearly impossible. My mom is about to kill me since I would rather sleep then actually be focused and get stuff done. I'm afraid I might have inherited some of my dad's ADD. Anyways, I keep getting these paragraph long texts from my mom informing me of new things I must complete, "or else".
Luckily, I am pretty much all packed. The only thing really left to do is pack my backpack and say goodbye to everyone. Even though it may be lame to say, I am going to miss everyone so much. As much as I love to travel, I am a homebody. I LOVE my little niche. I went to senior week (just for a day) to say goodbye to a lot of my friends since I won't be seeing them until July. Saying bye to mom will be really hard too. She's my main gal.
Although, I know that what I will experience while over there will be life changing.

Let's do this.
Safe Travels. Keep us "posted" please. I can't wait to hear all about it. Please tell our brothers and sisters in Tanzania that we all say Jambo.
