Yes, it is done. Words cannot describe my feeling right now. It is amazing, incredible, FANTASTIC. In one month me and my terrific friend Elin are leaving to Nakuru in Kenya. We did it! We have organized that during a course called Minor Field Studies, we will do our research at an orphanage funded by a Swedish organization. the feeling is similar to if I would watch a pig grow wings and fly. There has been so many obstacles, and as our dear friends at Ivy Mount would say, obstacles are part of sucess. And to succeed there has to be obstacles, and as well, 10 000 hours of work. Well, at least it feels like we have put down 10 000 hours. Because since we began this fall, we have struggled, including writing emails and texts promoting our trip, had meetings with a big variety of people trying to explain why we should go. At some periods I thought we would not go. But, I did not want to give up. My thought was that we should do everything possible, and if we still do not go, we can still feel good, because we did everything we could.
But, we are going! The tickets were bought yesterday. Now there are vaccines, and some other formalities before the big day, that is, the 9th november. That is the day when the plane is leaving the coldness of this scandinavian country, to land in the warmth of Africa.
I would love to explain how I am feeling right now. But, as written above, the feelings cannot be described. It is to incredible! Perhaps, when the feeling has been settled down a bit, I can find words for it! So for know I am just going to watch the pig grow its wings and fly!
