1 month & I'll be there

In one month's time I will be in the land of many waters: Guyana. Excitement is the word at the moment and getting all the final things arranged is what I'm trying to do.
The whole project is a mystery and I will only find out what I am getting into after being there, which makes me feel curious and happily anxious. I like this cloud of uncertainty because it brings some magic to the whole process (simple things make me happy, what shall I do?) and I trust the NGO I am going with: VSO.
I think the biggest fear I have right now is that I might not be as good as they need me to be. I'm quite a proactive person and a proper workaholic, but feeling that expectations might be too high makes me a scaredy-rabbit!
I've just ordered an extra battery for my Macbook, which died last month and has a new heart (300 GB disk inside him) and have loads of music, movies and TV series in an external disk.
The size of my check list is inversely proportional to the weight of my anxiety, but it's not killing me: pretty butterflies flying in my stomach!
Meanwhile, don't forget to share the link and make a donation!

Don't worry - they have no expectations of your abilities to get jokes. That would be a worry. I have not an inkling of a doubt that you will surpass all expectations work wise:)
You should concentrate on worrying about the spiders and the jaguars and the snakes and the big scary rivers...

Hope the excitement gets you through.(And ignore flatstanley, he has no idea. He's never met a jaguar in his life.) Enjoying your blog - I'm sure you'll do good.

Thanks for the good vibes lizzielongdrop! I do look forward to meeting a jaguar, as long as I'm at a safe distance!
