Thursday 25th April.
Gosh , what a whirlwind.Was it only 8 months ago I started the Tropical Diseases course, and made the decision to change my life? Feels like much longer. So far I've managed to pass the course, go to Africa, spend time doing something completely out of my comfort zone, and love it, come back, leave my safe, comfortable job, and get a new, exciting, challenging job in a "hostile" area (the insurance company's words) . Mad.
So I leave on the 15th June - well that's the provisional date anyway. Visas and contract yet to be signed, although offer letter signed and accepted.Currently alternating between periods of extreme excitement, and extreme "what the hell am I DOING!!!!" Plan on spending my last few weeks doing as little work as possible, catching up with friends, oh, and having more surgery on my hand. Nothing serious, but I very much doubt there will be a competent hand surgeon in Juba.....
As someone said to me today "Will your Amazon order come by donkey? Or will it be a donkey?"
