Estimated Time of Arrival: 8:15 AM June 1st

In a mere 9 days, I'll be off on another adventure; this time to Nepal! I will be working with the Human Rights News and Research Center in Kathmandu for two months conducting legal research and focusing on the rights of women and children.

After a minor panic attack the other day, I'm feeling much more calm and excited to leave. I emailed my contact and bombarded him with about a million questions about basic logistics-the email situation, accommodations, etc. He sent me pictures of the hostel I'll be living in (it looks beautiful!) and said I'll have wireless internet. He also said there will be 3 other western interns-big sigh of relief! It will be great to have people there that I can relate to. Hopefully I won't be as lonesome as I had originally anticipated.

So, now I'm in major preparation mode. Packing, packing, packing galore! I also have to finish up a couple papers for school before I leave, which is a bummer, but I'm not too worried about them....

More later!
Peace, Love, and Packing!
