Today was the second day of a long week of training. Marie and I just went to dinner at a really delicious Italian restaurant in DC. I'm going to miss some of these foods a lot! Tomorrow morning I have to be in the hotel lobby by 6:55am so I can go with my group to get some vaccinations. The only one I know of is Yellow Fever, so that should be a blast! After that we're checking out of our hotel and then heading to the airport. We'll be sitting around the airport for about 5 hours then waiting for our flight to Brussels. We get into Brussels at 7:30am the next day so I pray to God that I'm able to sleep on that flight but I might be too excited/nervous! Then our flight to Gambia leaves and we should be there by 6pm on Thursday. So it'll be a looong next couple of days! I'm getting really excited but I miss people already! Once I'm in Gambia I'll be in Banjul for a week and then we go more inland for training camps. It sounds like it will be really intensive and hard but a good experience and since I'm just out of school I hope it will be easy to slip back into study mode. I sure hope so! I hope everyone is doing well, thanks Jen and Laura for writing!
