I Turned in My Resignation

Wednesday, November 29th, 2006

I handed in my letter of resignation to my supervisor this week so it is official. I have 2 more weeks of work remaining. The clock is ticking, time is running out, i’m getting more and more excited!

I still have a few more things I need to get done. I have to get some passport sized photos for visas. I still should pick up a pair of sandals but I may just pick up some along the way when I get to Asia. I don’t see myself needing a pair in Africa. Also, some other articles of clothing, a mosquito net, some repelent. Actually, a lot more stuff now that I think about it. I’ll be pretty busy those final 2 weeks before I leave.

Oh, that is January 3rd by the way.

My travel guide for Ethiopia arrived yesterday which is real cool. I think now that I have a book to use I won’t be as stressed out. I think it is the only book i’m going to be bringing on my trip and i’ll keep an eye out for other guides long the way.

Monday, November 6th, 2006
After a year of putting off some of the most important responsibilities I have finally decided I will feel better just taking care of them before I leave rather than having them linger while i'm gone only to have to ... [Continue reading this entry]

Teeth!!!

Thursday, November 2nd, 2006
I HATE going to the dentist. But I have to admit, this trip wasn't so bad. I went to the guy that Brooke recommended and it actually turned out pretty decent. I mean, it was hell on ... [Continue reading this entry]
