Okay so now it's time for me to bitch and complain. The night before I left for DC for my staging event I spent the entire night packing because I put it off . Thank God Annie, Amy and Christina were there to help. At the airport everybody was crying (except Annie and my Dad, they were high fiving ;) and it was a long sad goodbye. I'm gona miss Mom Dad Kev and Bets so much, and grandma and Uncle B. Sigh. So I get to my hotel at 8:00AM and they say my room won't be ready till 3PM. I was wandered around in uncomfortable heels for a while. Then my cousin Mary Elizabeth rescued me. She picked me up for a great lunch and it was wonderful to see her. We talked about Dad a lot. This is so overwhelming right now. I'm trying to make friends, and the other volunteers are very nice people but I'm so cranky and sad it's hard. Oh and by the way almost all the volunteers going to Swaziland are women. However I had a lovely dinner at a place called the Thai Tanic with nine of the Swazi girls and Christopher Jackson. I was so glad he came and I got a chance to kindof vent to him afterwards. He's doin well in his internship.
We has to do an exercise yesterday where we had to imagine whatsuccess as a volunteer will look like. I was so exhausted I just couldn't even picture it. On a positive note, I had a good night's sleep and I think I'll do much better today absorbing new information and enjoying the company of the other volunteers. Wish me luck everybody!!!
This concludes the first bitch and complain blog
Love you all! Missin you already! XOXO
