is this even real?

i'm not even on malaria meds yet, and i'm already having crazy dreams. haha
->for those of you who have taken some bad malaria meds, you understand completely.

last night i had a dream about my flight leaving for Uganda in 1 hour and I hadn't even started packing. It was terrible. i kept waking up with my arms flailing and then would immediately slip back into my dream right where i left off. it was torturous.

but the list making has officially begun and i have a designated "packing pile" in the living room. I have only a few more things to pick up and i'll be pretty set to go.

I'll be leaving Monday, Jan 25th at 8:30 p.m. and arriving into Entebbe, Uganda on Tuesday at 10 p.m, where i will then stay in a airport "guest house" which is basically a hotel with continental breakfast and then one of the LGH workers will arrive to come get me wednesday morning to take me to Jinja. It's a 2 hour trip and we'll spend the day learning the town.

I'm nervous, I'm excited, and overall looking forward to the journey. oh, and i found out today that i can go running and that i can text message from uganda for real cheap from an international phone. YAY!

thats all for now!
