After the long-awaited moment of finding out my placement, now it is all actually happening and starting to sink in. In just four months I will be off on my placement, and I can only imagine how quickly the time will pass between now and then!
To get everyone up to speed, I will officially be going to Botswana in September! I found out my placement about a month ago and it definitely was not what I was expecting. But after details slowly sorted themselves out and after a few inevitable ups and downs, including initial celebration, then intense thought and deliberation, and slowly accustomization and relief, I am excited to be going to Botswana. Here are a few key pieces of information on my placement. I will be going to Shakawe, a small town in northwestern Botswana on the beautiful Okavango Delta, with my fellow INDEVOUR Bailey. |
More details will follow on my specific role as I find them out.
As my excitement (and likely trepidation) builds leading up to September, I am ready to jump right in and take things as they come - throw all my paint on to the canvas that is life, and make the best of it.
