Is this really happening?

So it's Saturday night.
I'm in the middle of packing.
Everything is ready to be put in a bag.
I leave Monday morning and the only thing running through my mind is "is this really happening?" It hasn't hit me yet and I'm not sure when it will. But regardless it is happening!

The breakdown-

I'm going to Kenya on my GLT (global learning term). Basically a independent study abroad program. I create my syllabi, make my own arrangements, and initiate all the learning (I won't attend any classes) I'm taking 12 credits through APU.

Family Organization- I'll be living with a family with 4 kids :) I'll basically be observing, asking lots of questions, participating in any way I can and writing about it.

International Internship- Working with a community organization and writing about it. I'm still figuring out what organization I will be working with. I have to do lots of hours for this since I will be earning 6 credits.

Global Research Project- I come up with a research question and conduct interviews, do research, and assemble all my findings in a portfolio.

So as far as traveling goes, it's basically going to take forever.

I fly out of SeaTac Monday night around 7. I have a short layover in San-Fran and then I fly over night to JFK. I get Tuesday morning around 8 am and have the whole day in New York. My flight for Switzerland takes off at 6pm. I have a another lay-over in Switzerland then it's finally off to Nairobi! I get into Nairobi on Wednesday.

So that's the basic information for now.
