Well, I am now 2.5 weeks away from leaving for Bolivia and I don't think it has quite hit me yet. I have so much to do, but with classes and clinicals, I've barely had time to think about preparing.
Luckily, I have already received my recommended vaccinations (Hep A, Yellow Fever, and Typhoid) and I've obtained prescriptions for all the diseases that I hopefully will not encounter: malaria, altitude sickness, and traveler's diarrhea. -- What a surprise ... Nurse Mal has taken care of all her healthcare needs!
My Spanish skills are slowly improving, but I anticipate quite a bit of culture/language shock upon arrival. Thus, despite my best efforts, I have a feeling my departure date is going to sneak up on me like a ninja! :) Ack!
