Advanced reporting.

I'm taking it this year. My first assignment is to write a story about my experiences in the DR. In conclusion, you WILL see SOMETHING on Friday:) I feel so lazy for not getting this stuff up already. But I have 18 credits, as of tonight, and 3, yes count them, 3 jobs. But I'll make it, because I think, secretly, I get some sort of sick high off of being stressed.

Don't think--just do,
Elaine

Back from the DR, lacking posts.

So I didn't update my blog the whole time I was in the DR. Why? Because I ended up having way less internet time than I thought and I had to pay for it. More so the lack of time though. Depressing, I know, but look forward to a couple weeks of me typing up stuff from my written journal, which I did keep up pretty well, and photos to go with it. Oh, and if you donated, you will receive a letter in the mail as well!

Much love,

Elaine.

Well, the time has come.

I'm about 4 hours from the start of my adventure! I WILL NOT have my phone. So texting and calling me is pointless. HOWEVER if you want to know how I'm doing, I'll be updating my blog about two weeks into my trip (that is the first time I'll have internet access). Thank you all for your support and love! LOVE YOU ALL:)

I'm finally done packing! That was thrilling. Haha. Every time I thought I had everything, there would be just one more thing and I would have to go back to the store! But, it is all worth it--no matter how many times I was grumbling about it as it happened.


There is so much I should say right now, but I am speechless. I'm sure words will spill when it is all over and done. That is when I'll have something worth saying. Until then, I only wish for the most open mind while I take the first steps in this life-changing experience.
