Hello again! So a few things have happened since the last time I wrote so let's get everyone up-to-date...
Over Easter Break, I went to Valdosta Health Department to get my vaccinations. The Yellow Fever vaccination is required to enter Gabon, but some others are also recommended. I got the Typhoid vaccination too. The other recommended vaccinations were required ones for entering into the public school system…so I’m vaccinated for just about everything now! I also got my Malaria drug prescription. My whole family basically got involved to make sure I got the right one (most of my family works in the medical field). My dad was worried about the first prescription they gave me because it makes you very sensitive to sun…and since I’m going to be pretty darn close to the equator, he figured that wasn’t very smart. However, after talking to a infectious disease expert (my Aunt Laura has connections!), we found that it would be the best medicine. So, that means I have to bring LOTS of sunscreen (3 months worth to be exact haha). I’m glad we got that all worked out!
I also sent off for my Visa, so that should be processed pretty soon. Tim and Meredith know a guy in New York that took all of the interns Visa applications together so we could split the fee. Thank you Jonathan!! Other than that…I’m just trying to finish school and start preparing and packing up my dorm room. My mom and Mema are coming up Wednesday, and I’m really excited to see them!
