The Count Down Has Begun !

SAWADEE KA! (thats hi in thai )

Okay, so I haven't written in a while-super duper busy BUT school's officially over and thus the countdown for my departure shall commence!

Heres the latest updates:

• I've officially booked my domestic flights to and from Cali

• I've gotten all my summer clothes and everything else that may come in handy while I'm in Thailand, hence the MAYOR blockage of bags in my room =/

• Ohhh I purchased this little Thai dictionary and phrasebook, cause ofcourse what's good knowing words if you dont even know how to put them in coherent sentences?!?!? It's actually helpful, I like take it everywhere I go and try to pronounce these words and people just stare at me making random facial expressions to help me pronounce these words.

Probably the most important thing is... I HAVE A FAMILY !!

ahhhh it brings me great relief to finally say that, for a minute there i was starting to feel homeless in a completely different country and culture. BUT with all of that resolved I'm so excited to meet them in person. I have a mom, dad, an older sister and a brother whose like two months older than me. Which reminds me his birthday is the 26 !

Early B-day shout out to Ohm!!!

It's actually hitting me now that I'm leaving in 7 days O.O (thats my o.m.g. face )

Sometimes I can't even fathome the idea that i'll be living a gagillion miles away for like two months! ahhhh im still super excited.

well yea, thats the latest in "What's up with Sally and that Thailand trip of hers?!?" so yes chicks and chikadees, im officially ready to go out and explore something new and different and learn soo much.

Ofcourse I want to thank everyone who helped me be able to go on this aazing opportunity,

Ms.Mateo and the whole GS team without you guys I still probably would be in the same spot i was before you all stepped in-helpless so thank you

And Ms Woolley, for staying in touch with me through all the emails i bombarded her with and finding any way possible to help me out financially. THANK YOU

and finally Deeana and Steph from DDC over at Columbia. You guys so totally rock for

guiding me through this long journey of fundraising and mishaps, i appreciate it so much.

Well im sensing this is probably one of those super long entries that just seem to keep going and going etc.

So Adios Amigos!

Sally
