15 Days. Really?

OK so i am some 15 days away from departing on my journey. There have been protests in the capital of Mada, Tannanarive. 40,000 protesters some dead. It sounds like a bad deal compared to the relative stability since Mada's independence from France. Because of the peaceful nature of the country I am still faithful that our PC group will be sent to begin our training in country as planned. And all of that is adding to the stresses of getting ready to go. Paperwork, bills, packing, spending as much time with friends as possible. Good thing i take stress well, or atleast i think so. Its just that 15 months of seeing if this is a journey I am up for is a long time to wait. I am rearing to go. That is pretty much it. so hopefully i can keep this blog up. I know i will be somewhere in rural madagascar but that isnt saying much. hopeully i can post once a month or so but i wont know until i am placed at my site in over 3 months. thats all for now. ive got things to do.
