have you ever had a moment where you realize you love exactly what you are doing with your life? where the universe is conspiring with you, helping execute what your life is supposed to be?
i am having strings of those moments. i love it here. i love africa. i love immunizations. i love the sand and the grit and everyting. intestinal and sleep complaints abound, but none from me. we drink bitter tea in the oppressive heat, sitting in bonded circles of sweaty volunteers. and since it is early, most of us are still pleased. enthusiastic even.
someone told me last night, "you will be a good person to hang around. you are so positive and full of energy." it is my goal to maintain that reputation. i think ill be relatively successful, especially if you send letters. lots. cause im already losing the competition. cmon people, show the love.
