I’m absolutely thrilled to be going on this trip, and I’m really excited that you are all following what we are doing on this website. I think it’s going to be a great experience for everyone, whether you’re going or reading about what we’re doing.
These past few months since the announcement have been quite insane. I’ve spent a lot of time stressing and worrying about the trip, from all of the shots I had to get (which was a lot, let me tell you), to wondering what kind of research I will be doing and how it will be conducted. On top of thinking about the trip all the time, I learned that I’m eligible to graduate from college in 2010 instead of 2011, which makes me a rising senior and one happy camper! This trip is a great way to start off my senior year of college, and I can’t wait to get there, learn, and get back so I can put what I learned to good use.
I’ve spent a lot of time working hard to get to where I am right now. I’m so honored to have been chosen by ONE to go on this trip, and I can’t wait to get on the plane tomorrow morning, run in to two of my five Real World: Kenya (as we’re now calling it) trip mates on the plane out of Minneapolis, arrive in DC and meet up with our fourth member and the ONE team, and get this show on the road. We’ll be updating all along the way, so you’ll be hearing from me again soon.
Kwa sasa, kwaheri!
