I cannot sleep. I have tossed and turned in bed for four hours, failing to fall asleep. I blame it on the massive quantities of thai tea I drank as part of dinner tonight. One girl told me it had a lot of caffeine, but I offhandedly disregarded her claim. It turns out that she was utterly right. So I thought I might as well blog if I am awake and not really doing anything.
Earlier today, actually yesterday since I am writing in the wee hours of the morning, cousins Jon and Levi dropped me off here at the Comfort Inn in Washington DC where I connected with my Go-ED group mates, most of whom are going to Rwanda with me. I think our Rwanda group has 17 students going on it. However, there is a smaller group of seven or eight girls going to Mekong, Thailand and they are here with us as we all get orientated together. So far, things are looking up, very much so. The people I have met are great and friendly, and I have even heard tell of an opportunity to go bungee-jumping sometime during the semester. Also, the first weekend we get to Rwanda we take off on safari
I am tired of the cold and the snow, it wears on my bones especially since I only brought clothes suitable for warmer climates. I cannot wait to touch down in tropical Rwanda, although the long flights will certainly be harrowing. I had hoped that blogging and reading would make me tired. Unfortunately, that highly caffeinated tea must still be coursing through my system. An all-nighter it is.
