Shots and Band-Aids

Today, I received the shots I need to travel to Uganda. I got a dose of Hep A, Meningitis, Yellow Fever, Polio, and a TDAP booster. Quite a handful...actually, exactly a handful, haha. In addition to these five shots, I have to take the Typhoid Vaccine orally a day apart (there's four pills total and the vaccine is good for five years) and Malaria pills a week before I leave. So far it's not been too bad. The way my mother tells it though I used to put up a heck of a fight when given shots before. I believe her because who wants to get stuck with needles as a child? The answer to that is no one, naturally. Today, I'm lucky though. I'm a little sore in both arms, my neck and sometimes my lower back but these symptoms should go away in a day or two. I also made the nurse put band-aids on my arm, so for the rest of the day I am sporting Daffy Duck and all his hilarious tom-foolery. Yay for childhood distress not rearing its ugly head. :)

I feel like a kid again with all these shots. I also feel a tad invincible. Combined, this could make for interesting stories. Now that I have these shots I know that this is happening. I am leaving the country in a little over a month. I still cannot wrap my head around this...

We receive our GACE scores next Monday. I'll be sure to update once I know if I have passed or not. I hope I pass all three with flying colors. :D

Not much else for now. I'll see you ladies and gents in about a week.

Thanks for reading!
