hazy shade of winter

Well, I'm off soon. New adventure, new home, new people, new life. I know I'm running away from my problems here and I'll jsut have to face them again when I return. But maybe I'll figure out how to solve these problems. I'm hoping for the best. I feel similiar to how I felt four and half years ago when I went to California. I was terrified, but so exciting. But I had higher hopes for California, I built it up to be this magnificent place. And it was beautiful, but it certainly wasn't perfect. Ghana's not going to be perfect. I'll be living in a poor village, with little money. I have to use only bottled water. I don't even know if I'll have a shower. I'll have to be careful about what I eat. I'll be prone to sickness, most likely. I may or may not have internet access. And I honestly don't really know what to expect and what I'm getting myself into. But I sure as hell will learn a lot.
