a couple weeks to go

so its getting down to the wire here. its hitting me now that i'm actually leaving. i just went to target and bought a years worth of bathroom supplies. dag! it cost a lot of money.
now i'm packing and repacking because its seems ridiculous that i have as much as i do.

and in the midst of canceling, forwarding and transferring things..i'm in the midst of grad school.
what was i thinking.

i'll sleep when i get to khartoum.

Mariposa, you are well loved and cared for. Let us know your needs while you are far away and I'm sure folks will work on sending you care packages, even the feminine kind that we all hate walking out the store with in those see-through bags!!!

I am so glad you're doing this. Honestly, just last night I was thinking "I really think Marissa needs to do a blog so we can hear all about her adventure." I'm pumped!

Marissa, these are the hardest days of moving abroad - so much to do and all the emotions - all natural and I don't know that its possible to feel like you are "done"...so hang in - I used to enjoy getting into my seat on the airplane and putting my feet up...not much else to do on the trans Atlantic...It will be fun to learn of your reactions to life in Sudan...all best to you, Bett
