It's okay, I hope you're having fun. :) It's nothing bad... In fact, I think it's good news, but I'm still kind of in shock.

Sophie, this is my dream and I really want to do it. I get why you're apprehensive, and trust me, I'm worried too. But Uganda is not war torn, and it hasn't been for a while. It's less dangerous than the Air Force. I'll be working with children, healing people who would die without the medical care I can provide. They only have .12 physicians per 1,000 population. They're number 10 on the world AIDS list. I think I can really make a difference, and as a wise person once told me- "If I'm capable of helping, then it's my obligation to."

-_- Why do I say things? They always backfire on me.

If you really want to do it, I won't stop you. It's a remarkable opportunity and I wouldn't want you to give it up. But you have to promise to call me at least once a week.
