Well, I'm now approximately 1.5 days out from my departure. I'm surprisingly calm, though this is very well a before-the-storm phenomenon. I have some time to kill at the moment because I'm trying to log into the AAMC website and as always have forgotten my password and am waiting for my temporary password email. This is a predicament I find myself in on a sadly regular basis.
Today I finally made it to the stores I meant to go to over the last two weeks. I visited Target as well as REI. REI is a very cool store and made me feel like an amateur. I think the store clerk/ranger thought I was a moron: I could see it in her eyes/smirk as I thoroughly contemplated which mosquito bed net to buy. My father also picked out some water purification tablets for me (take that, giardia), as well as a magnetic backgammon set which is a game I hope Emily enjoys to play.
My mother just called to me from the other room to confirm Malawi does not require a visa for entry, as well as to ask if it will be "easy for me to send pictures". Her exact question was: "I forget, will it be easy for you to send pictures?" As in, we've already had this conversation.
I hope, reader, you enjoyed the abrupt tone of this post. I was very efficient today, and my writing appears to be reflecting that. I think my e-mail has arrived so I'm going to go tend to that now.
Until next time (or until I'm in Malawi!),
Rebecca
