TOMORROW

Well Tomorrow is the big day. I leave SLC at 11:15 am. Chicago, Brussels, Chennai. All in all it will be 22 hours in the air. Just ask me how excited I am for that!! I am planning on organizing my picture folder in my computer, because it is a disaster. That will take maybe an hour...hmmmm 21 more to go... I plan on taking pictures of EVERYTHING. Airports, food, probably a sweaty kephy...cuz lets face it I sweat when I am nervous. haha {too much info? sorry..} People have been SO unbelievably great donating things, and someone even gave me a journal and some money!! I am so grateful to have these wonderful people in my life.
Here is a video that I love from Rising Star that will show a little bit of what I am doing:

I took the new malaria pills, and life is gooooood. :)
Sincerely, Nervous and Excited Kephy.

India in 4 Days! No Big Deal... :|

I leave for India in 4 days:

I got new Malaria pills-These ones just may cause Hallucinations {NBD}

I can only imagine what those hallucinations would be in India..haha oh boy..

I seriously have made list, after list, after list, of what to take. I have run out of ideas.

I am almost finished packing!

I have to be an M.C. for our YSA talent show tonight..ask me how excited I am for that.

{I'll keep you guessing}

{I'll give you a hint: Not that excited.. :|}

I need to get my books for school..seeing as I am missing the first week, which tends to be what I do every semester. We are gonna change that in January I hope.

I need to email some teachers.

Lets pray they are fine with me missing the first week..

I need to find another good book to read on the plane.

I need to get a car to get me from the airport to the hotel-

This is the most frightening part of the entire experience for me. I am by myself..in a foreign country...not a clue what they will be saying...just me and a paper with directions. So if you don't hear from me for awhile, you will know I have been kidnapped.

!!Excitement!?

Oh sweet Malaria Pills

Today I woke up, (having dreams about India all night), and I was like "hey today I should try my Malaria pills." (thinking NOTHING would happen...duh...) The doctor told me to try them before I left because it sometimes will make people nauseous. Well I am driving to work today....only working a half day....and I thought to my self 'Kephy you are gonna yammy" then I was like "You are totally over reacting!" "you are a hypochondriac!"....."Nope.....you really are gonna throw up" "right now!!!" grabbed the cup that was by some miracle left in my moms car. and proceeded to vomit. Lets just say I am SO grateful that I found this out NOW instead of throwing up in India, and there being nothing I could do about it. Lets just hope I can leave work early now, because I have the shakes, I'm sweating like a sweater, I have a headache, and my breath stinks. I have a feeling this is just the beginning of the madness and excitement of India. All Hail Doxycycline.
