I’ve been spending the past week or so (I’ve lost all track of time) travelin round mainly to keep from getting too stir-crazy.  I’m not used to being stuck in one place for long doing the same thing every day. 

I did open my mail today, finally.  It’s been sitting around waiting for me to collect it, and the very first thing I opened was my acceptence into the St. Joseph Clinic Medical Missionary programme.  I’ll mainly be doing lab-type work or simple procedure prep; similar to my duties in my parents’ clinics.  I felt as though it was time to try something away from my parents and see how well I work without the cushion of knowing my parents own the place and that they’d always have my back.  It’s kind of scary, really, knowing that more rests on my shoulders.  My parents are fiercely proud, however, so that helps. 

I’ll be leaving sometime around December and staying until Summer, if things go smoothly.  I don’t know how foreign affairs and government documents and the such work, but I know that right now a lot is depending on what sort of visa I am able to obtain. 

Wish my luck on getting my visa, I feel as though this is just the sort of oppurtunity I’ve been looking for and I am so excited.
