Okay, sitting in hotel in Phoenix with no blackberry and no momma. Now there are other students here, I have my name tag, and everything, so everything is starting to sink in. I'm really not freaking out, but it's pretty exciting that Uganda and Rwanda are a reality for me now!
Here are my Murphy's Law moments so far:
On flight to Phoenix, I broke my camera battery charger. Sadly, it's a funky little batter (not just AA) that I've only found one website to order it from. Kinda need a battery to use camera so I can share pictures with you guys! Since I don't have a whole week to order a new charger, I had to go buy a whole new camera! I guess that was some divine intervention because new camera is the bomb, but defintitely unneeded stress.
Also, since forgot stuff at home, I had to go to Walmart and add a few things to my already heavy duffle, but when we left Atlanta that sucker only weighed 45 lbs. I'm working with an additional 5 lbs here, right? Contact solution for four months plus a few extra pieces of clothing are slightly heavier than you would imagine. I crammed all of my stuff in the bags this morning so as to not lose valuables and pass carry-on regulations, and apparently my bag now weighs 63 lbs. 13 over. How did that happen????? No solution to that yet, but I don't have to be airport ready until Friday. Okay, I admit it, I need my daddy the packing genius!
So for now, I'm just waiting on everyone else to get here. Meeting in the lobby at 4:30 and commence orientation! 'Til next time...
