8 days left

wow the trip is coming soon and honestly i am so nervous i could puke =) i know it is unpleasant but when i think that in a week and a day i will be on a plane to a different country it is scary. i guess it is true that humans reject change-i am excited though, don't get me wrong! new people, new families, new culture, food, responsibilities, and everything else. oh ya the organization i am going with is called HOPE FOUNDATION CAMEROON. oh i found out today/yesterday that Canada does not carry the curacy of Cameroon - the CFA Franc so i will be bringing euro and American dollars and hoping to change it =) yay chance!!!! (sarcasm by the way, those who know me know i like to be VERY prepared, just in case-have you seen all the shit i carry in my purse "just in case"!?) well anyways, except my luggage being very overweight, even without clothes, and having 2 carry on, mostly filled with stuffed toys because they weight allot, everything is going well =) can you tell im freaking? well then that seems all for now... can't wait!!!!!! laters

WONDERFUL NEWS!!!!! the letter has been sent :) now i just need my visa but there is nothing i can do about that but wait. today i worked with Habbitat for humanity mississauga helping build a house and it was fun. all the volunteers working together to make a home for a family that needs a fresh start, it is inspireing and makes me very glad that i am going on this...journy, i guess is the word. i hope that i will be able to help at least one person, and that person helps another. kinda like in that movie - help 3 people who help 3 people- it is an amazing thought. well that is all for now. SO HAPPY ABOUT THE LETTER!!! laters

19 days left and no visa!!!

wow this sucks! i don't have my visa yet and there are only 19 days until i leave. oh by the way i am going to Cameroon for 6 months to volunteer (disabled people, orphans, teaching english) just in case you didn't know. so ya the letter from the foundation i am going with has not yet arrived at the consulate and that's a problem! so besides that major problem im getting ready to go and panicking all the time. (sorry for any spelling mistakes, i don't know why they are making me teach english when i spell with phonetics) i have most of my stuff ready and am collecting a lot of other things to bring with me =) cant wait! but i will have to leave my family and friends behind for 6 months and i will miss out on their adventures while im away =(. i will also be missing christmas and my birthday... lol oops =P well that's it for now hopefully the letter comes and i get my visa!! PS i just found the spell check XD
