It is officially less than two weeks till I am in Nepal! I am excited to say that the end of the world did not happen yesterday as predicted, so that we can still go to Nepal. Now all I have to do is make it past 2012 and graduate! It is crazy to me how much hype can be made by someone deciding the world is going to end but so little information and hype about maternal health care in developing countries. If people cared half as much about helping others as they did about crazy rumors I feel like we could really be making a difference.
I'm starting to pile everything up in my room to make sure that I have everything I need and it is just making me realize how much I really have. Not for this trip but just in general I mean I am able to go out and buy new things to bring to another country. How crazy is that!? So many people in this world have the same shoes for years and I bought two different pairs for this trip alone. I can't help but think that if I feel this way now how incredibly selfish I will feel when I get back. I can't wait to experience everything there and learn about myself.
