One Month

One month from today I will be on my way to Uganda.  I'm not so sure that it has totally hit me yet.  Maybe it won't become totally real until I actually set foot onto the plane and finally take off.  I have been trying to read my handbook from HELP INTERNATIONAL and put together a list of things that I need to take with me and things that I need to do before I leave.  My sister, my mom and me are going to go shopping for clothes next week.  

I bought some Chacos at REI last week (I was NOT happy about that purchase :)  Everyone keeps telling me about the cool tan lines that you get from them, but who cares about the tan lines?  I just spent ninety five dollars on ugly sandals.  They are apparently recommended by podiatrists so hopefully they don't end up hurting my back or my knees.  I have never heard a bad thing about them, everyone seems to love them but they are just not attractive.

This is the color i bought.  Maybe they aren't that bad...

I also bought an electrical adapter while I was at REI which should prove to come in handy now as well as in the future.

I have to call my bank and tell them I will be in Uganda and get some cash to take with me.  I found out that I need bills that are less then ten years old so that should be fun.  I have to call the company that has my student loan and set up payments for June and July or maybe they will let me skip a payment.  Gotta stop at the health food store and get vitamins, and probiotics.  Get sunscreen and bug spray.  Yikes!  There is so much stuff to do.
