Almost a month to go

So I haven't been online all that much since the last entry, partly because I was traveling cross-country. My first stop was in Wisconsin with my boyfriend and his family, and three days later I went to Alabama to visit my dad and brother. From there, we went to Las Vegas (as a college graduation present) and saw the Grand Canyon. All I have to say is "wow". I was never really scared of heights until we started our tour of the Grand Canyon. I can't even begin to describe its beauty and colossal size. Thankfully, my boyfriend joined me on the trip and we will surely be back to camp at the bottom of the canyon soon. Well, maybe in a couple years until we can get into shape. As for my Ghana trip, I haven't heard too much about it unfortunately. I was suppose to have an interview via Skype but the Internet in Ghana is less-than reliable. Hopefully I will learn more about my host family within the next week or two. I finished moving out of my apartment yesterday :( Surprisingly, it was very difficult to say good-bye after calling it my home for more than 2 years. I guess it has really sunk in that I am no longer a college student, but a young working professional.
