And the lucky day is...

A week from today, I'll be trading in my fur-lined boots for a pair of flip-flops! I can't wait to trade in the cold Iowa winters for the warm Gambian weather! I guess I would say I ready...especially since I've been packing since early December when I got back from my first trip to the Gambia. It's harder than I thought to pack for six months. I hope I have enough crystal light!

I'm looking forward to teaching and have been trying to prepare as much as possible in advance for my classes. Although I am nervous about teaching writing skills, it will be fun to teach epidemiology for a second semester in row. I've been thinking up more ways to teach epidemiological concepts in a fun, interactive method. I have games to show the various types of study designs and I've been thinking about a way to teach herd immunity. I am looking forward to getting to the Gambia and being able to hit the ground running! Busumbala here I come!
