What Have I Done?

I leave for Haiti tomorrow afternoon. 
Every time I remember that I leave tomorrow afternoon,
my mind immediately says,
"Oh goodness, what have I done?"
And then comes the panic attack. 
Yay!

Let's be real,
this trip has me scared out of my mind. 

I may appear calm and collected, 
but I'm still breathing into a paper bag when no one is looking.

I'm not entirely sure what I am so nervous about or afraid of,
I think it's just the sheer magnitude of a trip like this. 
I am going to live on a remote island, 
off the coast of another semi-remote island, 
I will sleep in a tent, 
and pee outside.
It's going to be HOT and there will be lots of mosquitos. 
And I won't get to talk to my mommy. 


Packing has also been the culprit of a many moments of hyperventilation.



I mean you try and fit EVERYTHING you will need for 30 days in here!
That's no easy task, my friend!


So, in summary, 
I leave for Haiti tomorrow at 2p.m. 
I will have NO contact while I am there,
for 30 days,
I am completely terrified of what I am about to do, 
prayers are greatly appreciated.
