Hey Buddies! और नमस्ते!
Ok, so I my OCD might be showing as I've now written two posts on the blog before I've even left the country, but I figure it's best to keep everyone up to date. I am now finishing u my last-minute packing before my departure to Washington, D.C., where I will have my Pre-Departure Orientation (hence the title. :) ), which is essentially a meet-and-greet situation Wednesday afternoon followed by a chance to see D.C. and get to know one another, as far as I can tell. Then, on Thursday we have a full day of lectures and seminars and speakers to prepare us for the trip, and then on Friday, at 2:00 p.m., I am on a flight and outta here! It is all very, very exciting. I have had quit a few adventures already in getting ready for the trip. In the hopes of having extra space in my suitcase for souvenirs and gifts, I got a VERY large new set of luggage, only to find my bag was a whopping 15 pounds over the weight limit. So, I spent my second-to-last evening at home paring down my luggage and sifting through shirts, thinking "How much do I really need 5 t-shirts? Maybe three would do - or maybe I could keep the 5 and drop 3 pairs of socks?" Needless to say, it has been interesting. Now weighing in at a much healthier 49.5 lbs, my suitcase is awaiting departure, next to my hot mess of a carry-on. I really didn't expect packing to be so intense. :/
Anyway, rather than bore you all, I'll cut this post off here, and get back to watching some good, old T.V., a well-deserved break. :)
I can't wait to get going, and I hope you all keep reading and keep in touch!!!!
