Where to start?
To all my friends and family, this will hopefully allow you a glimpse into my life across the globe. As I will be leaving in just 3 days, I figured i should let you know how to find this blogspot and make sure everyone can see it without any trouble.
As for now, this is the plan for the first couple days: Tuesday, 8/16 I leave from Chicago at 1:10pm and arrive in Washington around 4pm local time then leave to Johannesburg at 5:40pm and land there around 5:20pm on Wednesday (that is an entire day later, but it's not actually a 24 hour flight, thank the Lord). Then one more flight from Johannesburg to Cape Town, which will get me there around 9:30pm local time. I'll have a short night's sleep and begin the adventure bright and early the next day with my orientation to the city. Hopefully, this will allow me to gain a better understanding of how the public transport system works and how often i'll be able to use it.
I believe the day after (that being Friday) i'll have orientation to the hospital. Saturday, i've requested to go on a trip that takes "disadvantaged kids" on a 1 day vacation each month. Hopefully that will work out and i'll get my feet wet right away!
so, for now that's all I know. I'll let everyone know how i'm doing and how everything is going as soon as I can.
thanks for all your prayers and support!
love always,
C
