MATT: ...and voila, you're there.

The plan for the this summer is becoming a bit daunting. In addition to all of the work associated with our project, I am also going to focus on studying for the GMAT and brushing up on my Hebrew. If you have any good suggestions for either, I'd appreciate them.

Tomorrow I leave for London. I spent the evening preparing for my trip. I sprayed all of my clothes with copious amounts of ultra-repellent bug spray (specially made for clothes to last 6 weeks), lined up all of my prophylactic medications, found my converters for all of my electronics and confirmed my emergency evacuation plan with my insurance company. I am really going to Africa ... and I couldn't be more thrilled.

I plan to meet up with friends and family for a few weeks in the UK and Sweden before I get to Nairobi. I am so anxious I can hardly stand it. Something wonderful is going to start this summer and I'm so glad God has chosen this venture for me.
