Crunch Time-But Not the Candy

Well, it's crunch time. I've got 3 days till I drive up to D.C., say goodbye to my momma and Jerry and board an African Airways airbus-340. It hit me pretty hard yesterday that I'll be gone for 4 months, when I was buying toiletries and other little necessities. Never thought I'd be so nervous about anything in my life, up to this point of course. My momma told me the only problem I'm going to have is that I might just make too many friends and never want to come back! haha, I doubt that's going to happen. I'm going to miss all of you very much...especially Roo and Bojangles!! And I just started to drink sweet-tea (Shannon would be proud)!!! :D But for real, my friends and family have always been there for me and have supported me throughout this whole adventure and I just want to say thanks. Honestly couldn't do this without y'all! To wrap this up, I'm really excited!! I've got my dorm set-up and a few trips to Cape Town already booked, this is going to be one heck of a ride! Peace out puppy snouts!

Peace,
