I finally have gotten all my shots for Africa… all 9 of them.
What I thought was just going to be 5 shots turned into getting the whole
package. I’ve never really been afraid of shots, ever since my mom told me my brother
cried when he got his, my child ego wouldn’t let myself cry (Ha!). But getting 9 in
one setting is a bit excessive if you ask me! So luckily I was able to split
it up to two trips. Now no epidemic will be able to touch me (knock on wood). What
is awesome about getting all these shots is most of them last 10 years
(boosters, a life time), so I can return to Africa or travel to different
places and not really have to worry about shots. On top of the shots, I also
have to take Malaria pills everyday while I’m in Africa.
Last Friday I graduated from Cuesta with an AA in behavioral and social sciences. It was such an awesome experience to be a part of the ceremony and to sit there and really soak in the accomplishment. Two weeks ago I also found out that I got into San Francisco State! I have been running around to get everything squared away before I leave but there never seems to be enough hours in the day. Luckily I will still have a month of summer when I get back from Africa.

The past month has been
pretty emotional for me, for a chapter of my life came to an end. This past
school year has been the hardest year I have ever had to endure. I look back on
this past year and I can't pin point weeks, everything has meshed together. The
things I can pin point is the constant love and support I have received from my
family and friends. My friends have been wonderful through everything,
especially when they all came and hiked with me for my dad’s birthday,
celebrating my graduation from Cuesta and then everything in between! Of course I'll be staying in touch with my friends but leaving a place that I have
made my home for 3 years, made new friends, getting closer to some of my
high school friends, and have fallen in love, it’s hard to say goodbye. It’s a
whole new and different grieving process. I am so so excited and happy for my trip and for next year but it still doesn’t
take away the feelings of saying goodbye.
I want to thank everyone for giving me constant love and support through everything this past year. I greatly appreciate and love each and every one of you!
