Had no choice but to gamble on the typhoid medicine. Apparently you are supposed to take it two weeks prior to visiting areas with Typhoid. I have to admit, I do not feel well versed in the conflict situation going on in the Mindanao area, but it is impossible to be 100% prepared. Naturally I am excited, and occasionally dramatic thought of danger pops into my mind, but when is life ever not dangerous? I leave tomorrow evening and have butterflies in my stomach thinking about it. I am unbelievably excited to be in a new land, and receive guidance and support in researching the conflict, and peace efforts being made. I have no idea what to expect despite being told we would be meeting with lots of organizations. I don’t think Ill sleep very much tonight.
