Big news! I am leaving for Haiti on August 4th at 5:45 AM. This will put me in Port-au-Prince at 11 so I can get on Tortug' Air at 12 to get out to Jeremie. I am nervous, but it is nice to finally have a plan as well! I still have a lot of preparations to make, but I am all-in-all ready to go.
AND there are only 2 more classes left. Friday we all have to get here at 4 for "Evalyasyon" followed by all of our presentations. Each person or group has to give a little presentation to show what we learned. I think I am going to talk about my family and what each of them do a little bit. Clearly I am not very creative, but it will work. Then after the presentations we'll have Haitian food that the professors will bring in... mmmmm.
Apparently I can send myself some stuff on the container so I don't have to fit everything into my suitcases. I'll put some books and movies and extra towels, sheets, toiletries in a box or 2 to receive once I am down there. I think I'll also send some mac&cheese.
I can't believe I am finally booking my flight... it is actually happening. Once I received the e-mail from Callie kind of trying to finalize everything, it actually hit me that I am going! I am really excited, but also terrified, sad, and really nervous. I don't want to leave everyone here, but I have made my decision, and it is something I want to do, so I need to suck it up.

Hi Marissa,

I definitley know the feeling of leaving everything you know to follow your dreams. Feel free to contact me if you ever need to chat.
