Tomorrow!

Tomorrow is my first day of orientation for the MPH program. I am a little nervous, though mostly curious and excited. Also, since it is an eleven hour day (not including transportation!) I am hoping it will hold my interest.

Jennifer left this afternoon, so it has been very quiet around here. I felt a little teary once she had gone, but it's almost impossible to feel sad when you look up and see the mountain. Natalie, our fabulous hair stylist in Vredehoek, told us today she really believes that the mountain gives everyone here a positive energy. I'm thinking she's right. It's a privilege to be here, and as I said to Thomas earlier, moving here may be the best decision I've ever made.

I was feeling pretty under the weather today, but I'm hoping allergies are to blame, not a sinus or ear infection. I suppose the benefit of being in the public health department is that I can get the scoop on the easiest/best way to see a doctor if needed!

Keep your fingers crossed that I get the courses I want tomorrow at registration. I'll try to update again soon!
