The Test (part 2)

Ok, so this is just to see if I've set everything up correctly. But if I did things right, this email will post to my blog, which will then post to my Facebook as a note, and then... well, then we'll be in business!! :) Before this all gets started, though, I should say for all you facebook users that if you're going to comment, I would much prefer that you comment on the actual blog, which you should be able to do if you click "view original post" underneath the note. The internet connection, I hear, is very very slow, so I'll only be checking my North Park email address while I'm gone because it takes less time to load, and I won't be checking Facebook because that won't be able to load at all, I'm sure.

So, to make this an actual, official entry in the blog, (something that's worthwhile looking at) I'll do a bit of actual blogging here. Last night I took my first malaria pill. It took forever to fall asleep (probably on account of the two-hour nap I accidentally took yesterday afternoon), and then I'm pretty sure I had a different dream every sleep cycle, at the end of which I either woke up or dreamt that I woke up each time. Needless to say, I woke up feeling very unrested. But so far other than that, and perhaps some funny stomach activity, the "bitter pill" hasn't been that bad.

My sister and brother-in-law came in this morning after a long drive from Colorado, and New Mexico before that. I'm excited to spend some time with them before I take off. My dear Erin Cooke will be arriving tonight after her semester study abroad in England, and I'm excited to see her again! :) We figured it out yesterday, I think, and I'll probably be taking the train from Michigan City to Chicago on Saturday sometime, so I've got five full days left in town. That means five days to see the people I want to see before I head out - but really only four days or three days because of the Christmas festivities. And somehow I have to do the other stuff I have to do, like write my Study Abroad application essays, pack for school, pack for Zambia, and some other stuff. So why am I still on my computer right now? I guess that means I'll be getting off now. :)

Until next time!
