It's official: I'll be spending a large portion of my summer in a tiny little country in the heart of Africa. No not Maui, Malawi. The tickets were boughten last week-en and, well, something I've been mentioning in conversation as a possibility/probability for a year or two now is finally starting to seem real.
I'm a bit scared. I'm a lot excited. Here's why:
--I will miss my piano.
--I will miss my friends.
--I will be in a foreign country, observing things, talking to people, letting it all sink in
--It will be beautiful
--It might be lonely
--I may or may not accomplish very much
--I most likely will learn quite a bit
--I have wanted to do this for a long, long time
--I hope I don't get Muh-Lay-Ree-uh
--I will need support, thoughts, and prayers
--I'm getting PAID for this (?!?)
--I guess I'm really a sociologist now
--I can't wait to meet some Malawian peeps
--I have no idea what to expect.

When I studied in Kenya one of my roommates was from Malawi. She was the daughter of an MP, real fancy-like. She was this gorgeous, large and round black woman. Totally sexy and totally lazy! I loved it! Her name was Joann.
Closest I got to Malawi was Tanzania. But I do have good memories of making fun of the Kenyans with Joann. Ah, those were the days....
