First Post

I am procrastinating from studying for my Nutrition exam tomorrow and have decided to set up a blog.

Today is Valentine's Day and I leave for Ghana in just under three months. My trip to Ghana is the reason for setting up this blog - to have a convenient way to keep it touch with friends and family here in Victoria, as well as to keep an online diary that I can refer back to later when reviewing my trip and writing up a work term report.

So, as of today I have been accepted with Projects Abroad to work with them in Ghana for two months on a medical project. My flights are booked: Victoria to Toronto to Amsterdam to Accra and back again. I leave May 3 and am back in Victoria on June 26.

I am looking forward to the trip and, while it seems far away now, I know that the three months is going to fly by.
