I accepted my invite for Burkina Faso this morning so its definitely happening! I'm trying to take care of all the paperwork they want but its a lot to get done. I got my passport & visa pics yesterday and need to FedEx them in along with the application and my current passport. I also am working on my Aspiration Statement and updated resume. It sounds like this is the only thing that gets sent to Burkina Faso so its important that I make a good impression. I'm suppose to include all my experience, skills, and interests in the resume so its different than what I normally use.
I met with my advisor on Monday to talk about my independent study. Turns out the data I need to use is all in French so I have to start learning quickly! He agreed to help translate for me but it definitely is going to be more of a challenge than I had expected.
I'm headed to the Gulf Shores tomorrow with my friend Allison to celebrate the 4th. Should be fun to hang out on the beach for a few days and spend time with her before I leave! She has been a great friend over the last year and I really hope she comes to visit me in West Africa!
