I'm going to Africa!!!!!
Got my acceptance letter this morning and I am giddy with excitement. I knew I wouldn't be rejected, but I feel as though it's that much more real now. Now I just have to find out where I am going (Ghana or Zambia) and who I am going with. But those are just details because, let's be honest, it really only matters that I'm going. To Africa. Yippee.
YAY!!! So exciting! I remember the feeling of knowing I would get accepted, but getting that much more excited once it's official :)

Oh and about where to go, I might be a bit biased towards Ghana because I went there, but we were able to see the majority of the country and the people who went to Zambia stayed in one place for the entire time (except for daytrips/weekend trips). Some people liked that though. Also, I hear we roughed it a little more than them in terms of accommodations but I'm not totally certain. Last year, the people who went to Zambia did a lot more teaching at the university than we did, but Muriel said that they might increase the education/teaching piece this year for those going to Ghana.
Happy deciding! I'm sure both would be amazing! (And it does sorta depend on the people who are going to each country as well, since you're with them for so long!)
Yippee is right! I cannot wait to take my family back to Kenya. When are you going?
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I'm so excited for you as I know what a significant impact Africa has had on me. You'll never be the same and it's incredible!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!!! I am soooooo excited for you. I know you have been dreaming of this long before you started nursing and its great to see it become a reality. I of course would say go to Zambia since I lived there for a while but you will go where you are meant to. Africa is just beautiful in itself. Happy planning etc! If you need anything, let me know! Love ya
