Leaving

So yesterday was my last day of college, and it made me think about leaving. The two years of college went so fast, I feel like I only just started there, and it has made me realise that in about 3 months I will be leaving home and going to live somewhere completely new and different.
I am so excited about going away, but will still miss everyone from home, so I have got a little book in which people can write messages and I can stick photos in to take with me to have a small bit of home with me. I had it at college with me and people wrote the loveliest of things.
It won't be long until I'm heading to Guyana, so I look forward to spending the time I have left in England before I go with friends and family.

I can't believe I'm leaving soon, but I'm sure in a years time I'll feel much the same about leaving Guyana.

I'm very close to my total, not far to go now, so if anyone would like to donate here's my page:

A little bit of information

Recently Project Trust have been finalising everybody's placing, matching partners and choosing projects. In the last couple of days they have been emailing out details of where we are going!

Today I got my email, and I have been placed in Guyana (I know that seems kinda obvious, but there was a chance that it could have been Ghana, as you get given more than one country when selected, as a just in case). Most people in their emails got details of their projects, however I have been placed in a new project which means I don't know the fine details at the moment.

However, I did get a lot of information on Guyana, such as all the injections I'm going to have to get (scary...), and the type of things to bring with me. I also got told that I should be flying out at late August 2014, and returning early to mid August 2015, and more details about training. :D

This makes things a bit more real for me, I'm going to live abroad for a year in about 3 and a half months...!
