Leaving on a Jet Plane
So I leave today at 9 and I couldnt have more mixed feelings about it. Excitement, fear, anxiety and doubt all mixed into one. But mostly I am hoping that there aren't sketchy men stalking me at the airport. I got onto Skype which lets you talk across the world through your computer for free! Go and download it and talk to me. So now you can call me at 301-637-7411 and talk to me for the price of a local call. So excited! But anyways, you make a profile for this and before I knew it, random people in Ghana were messaging me. My favorite is a 29 year old man whose opening line was "I like black women that know what they want." I have a feeling that an indecisive white girl is not going to be what he was looking for. But anyways, being completely idiotic, I gave them all kinds of information. So now I am just hoping that they are not waiting at the airport for me. Good thing Steel Steph gave me that knife. So I think I am all packed and ready...and my last day will probably include some Dr. Phil and Oprah and trying to forget what I am leaving behind as I embark on this adventure. Talk to you all from Ghana. Miss you already.
