Today is departure day!! The butterflies in my stomach from the day before were raging in the morning. It felt a bit surreal that this day has finally come....I`ve been anticipating it since July 2012 when I found out I had been accepted into the CSC. When I arrived at Washington Dulles Airport for the last leg of my flights, I finally meet 2 colleagues - Dean and Suren - who have been merely voices over the phone for the past 3 months of preparation for Senegal. I take comfort in knowing that I`ll be with them given our flight arrives at 5:45AM in Dakar and it`s sure to still be dark outside.
Oh...and did I mention that my laptop CRASHED during the night last night while doing one last backup before I left (just in case something happened when I was there). Little did I expect that this would happen while still at home! Well, that pretty much rattled my nerves, but I took many deep breaths to remind myself this is simply a huge inconvenience and nothing more. No one is hurt, everyone is safe...it`s just a broken PC! I will figure out how to get it fixed with my IBM colleagues in Senegal.
I`m just going to hang on and enjoy the ride...and expect the unexpected!!
