Staging

This will be a pretty short one because I should be studying for the GRE’s! I got my information for staging today and I’ll be heading to Washington, DC August 11^th! After a day what seems like discussions of expectations, goals, rules, etc., we get up early on the 12^th for a quick stop at the clinic (shot time!) then on board an evening flight to Senegal! It’s coming together quickly! I feel like the rest of the summer is going to fly.

Once I’m done with the GRE on Friday, I have a few errands to run before A comes to visit. After a few days (and a baseball game) in Chicago, we head out, along with the rest of the family, for a trip biking around Ireland! I’ve been so distracted with Senegal and the GRE that I haven’t gotten to think about Ireland at all. I can’t wait to spend time with the family and enjoy all that Ireland has to offer (whatever that is).

I promised a short post, but, before I go, I have to call out SBT. One of my best friends from school (and my 1^st mate from sorority) is in the middle of her Teach for America training. Not only does it sound like she’s already doing an amazing job, she’s getting me really excited about my upcoming adventure in public service! Thanks SBT!

Fun (ish?) Fact: One of the current volunteers joined our chat group and told us that most of us won’t use French (the SED kids may be the exception)… Wolof here I come!
