As of Late

So, for those of you who may be wondering what I have been up to this summer, here is your quick update!

Plans for Togo are still good! I just booked my plane ticket to Philadelphia yesterday and I will be leaving at 6:15 AM (!!!!!!!!!!! TOO EARLY!) on September 17. Once I get there, I will be filling out paper work and listening to a lot of information about Peace Corps and Togo. The next day, we will be getting shots at 7:15 AM (are these people really morning people? this may be a long two years), checking out of the hotel, and going to the airport to catch our flight to Togo! Once in Togo, we will have a week orientation and then it's on to being a PCT (Peace Corps Trainee).

I am really excited about GEE, and recently was sent a really great article that made me even more happy to be working with girls education. If you have some time, take the opportunity to read through it!

In the meantime, this summer has been full of fun traveling to Peru, San Francisco, and Cancun! I have also gotten to spend some time with my family while living in Dallas and being in Peru, and I have to say it has been so nice. Only a few more weeks and I won't see them for a while! Anyway, that's all for now, but feel free to call or email me if you want to get together before I leave!
