The final countdown!

WOWEE!! Boy howdy! September 5th is just around the corner!

Here's an update on my preparation since the field study prep course

• IRB.....ACCEPTED!!!! With only a few minor changes being the addition of a paragraph on my mentors qualifications and my e-mail address. Pretty Bomdiggity I'd say!
• Logged Off in the field studies office....Thanks to Sarah and Maggie for helping me pick out the style of bag pack I chose, I knew I wanted rasta colors I just needed some support...choice breeds anxiety you know :)
• Ran into Ashley and Dave and met with Andrew again, it was so nice to see them! We're going to be meeting together before we fly out and I can't wait. Their confidence in me when I spoke with them really helped me feel more excited and confident in myself. I was having some doubts but now I'm all IN it!
  
• Speaking with Andrew I got exciting news about housing and location that makes me so wicked excited!
• I'm just wicked excited.
• I can't wait to pack. I want to do that before I even go through all my college stuff I need to organize because i'm so excited!

Anyway, things left to collect and decide on are, whether to buy new shoes and which kind, which green packets I'd like to take and which video camera I should invest in. Anyway just thought I'd throw that update on this here blog.

Mostly I needed to release some of my excitement :)
