Closing in on Departure.

So today it was at least 40 degrees out at one point. I am not acclimatized yet so it was pretty brutal. A good laundry day though cause everything dried in about two seconds. Anyways, I guess I better get acclimatized pretty quick to prepare for the whole alberta summer-bit of alberta fall-bolivia summer thing.

Well the fundraising is over! Thanks to everyone who came out to the coffeehouse on the 28th. The night completed my epic quest for funds plus some. The garage sale also went very well and all funds were donated to the Get-Jesse-to-Ireland Fund.

I have been packing...and un-packing...and re-packing. I am such a manic packer. I just get worried that I won't have what I need when I get there.

I also spoke to my project leader on the phone the other day. She is getting things in Cochrane organized for our arrival. She has all our work placements lined up and is just getting the last few host families lined up. She sounds pretty cool and she has led CWY groups before. It was also just good to talk to someone who I'm going to be spending the next little while with.

Well, it is time to set up fans all over the house and try to get rid of this heat. If you would like me to send you a postcard, just leave me your address. I've still got a bunch of unclaimed postcards.

Cheers,
Anna

p.s. I'll put up some pictures of the coffeehouse soon so you can all see them!
