reflecting back to when i was 10 or whatever. i remember thinking how old 26 was. 26 is like an adult. i thought by the time i was 26 i would be married maybe with a kid on the way and with a great job ordering people around. so i am clearly not with a job, nor with child, nor with marriage. so in retrospect i struck out 3 times. so the question is what would i have thought of myself now when i was 10?

so here I go

I am going to Ghana for 5 weeks on July 17th to work at a hospital as a nurse.
When I say this it sounds great. It sounds philanthropic and adventurous.
Although my intentions are sincere my guilt has kicked me into admitting that going is fueled mainly by selfish reasons
I am 27, single, and a woman... single and 27
single
I need to know there is more to this life than hoping another person will fill it.

So in around 3 weeks I am supposed to go to Ghana.
I decided impulsively
One night I was sitting in my house wondering where my life is supposed to go and what I would do after I graduated.
I had this master plan.
I would go to nursing school and graduate then move away somewhere to start my life.
To see what I am supposed to do with myself
To be an adult. *gasp*

So I am going to Ghana.
