I'm going to Tanzania....

I can't wrap my head around this idea fully, but I've made a snap decision that will probably change me for the rest of my life.
Back in April of this year, Carlton came home one day from work, Cross-Cultural Solutions, and told me about a program in Tanzania that is relatively new. He told me that a few of the volunteers going on this program was a group from the social work school at Boston College. I was really excited for him because he'd been working on this Social Work project for a while.

A few days later, Carlton, upon arrival from work, told me that someone had dropped out of the Tanzania program and asked me if I'd be interested in going. I told him that I am interested but needed some time to think about it. I would need time to get the money and make sure I'm cleared from my job. I figured in a year I would be able to go. Little did I know, Carlton was thinking a lot sooner. 30 seconds after he asked me if I wanted to go he expected me to have an answer asking me if I had thought about it and if I came up with a decision. Aparently, he was asking me if I wanted to take the July 26, 2008 program start date. I didn't think he wanted me to go so soon. Moreover, I needed to make the decision quickly because I needed to sign up immediately to take the spot because Summer is a peak season and the spot can be taken immediately. I impulsively said yes, not thinking about what I had said yes to or what was to come in the following weeks. After mulling the idea over with Carlton, with a lot of coersion on his part as well, the decision was made. All I needed to do was find the money for the registration fee. I text messaged a few friend to see if they'd lone me the money. Finally, my friend Michael Darnel without flinching an eye or asking any questions said, here's my credit card number. I am forever in his debt.
The next day, I was punching the numbers in on the CCS online registration webpage. In a matter of a few key strokes, the course of my life for the next few months were predestined. My life forever, from this moment was changed. Just with the reply of a simple but loaded question from Carlton and the generosity of my friend Mike. I love you papis!
And the story goes...
