and so they always seem to do and be.
I wish my spirits were more of fervor at this current time, but I am unconscious of the passing of time, and this trip has approached too fast for me to feel much. Surely it will be the same as the summer, where I suppress all emotion until I wake up the morning of the flight and feel it all so strongly I should nearly faint.
I am in the middle of reading some Jane Austen, as I happily do every Christmas, so I daresay my writing will be riddled with vernacular of that time and sentence structure that is so wholly pleasing to my ears, but very well may not be easy to read.
I would write closer to my trip, but as the next two days are Christmas Eve and Christmas itself, I should not likely have the time to sufficiently express myself. My fingers are very cold from the winter winds against my home, and I even saw snow two days ago. How I long for the warmth of Belize!
The weather forecast for my trip is: between 80-87 degrees each day! It will likely be rainy quite a bit, as well, due to the start of the rainy season there, but surely I do not mind! It will be again as my Elizabeth Bennett traipse through the woods picking wildflowers in Texas, but in a rain forest! This will perhaps feel more of a Jane Goodall traipse, and how much I look forward to it!
For those of you who don't know about my upcoming trip, I am headed to the small, Central American country of Belize. I am taking an intensive, short course on Wildlife Veterinary Medicine. I will get to practice my suturing techniques, blow darting as a means of immobilizing zoo animals for procedures, and learn many things about the wildlife of Belize and zoo/wildlife medicine in general. I am so excited!
It feels so medically real, too. I get to pack my own stethoscope, gloves, thermometer, scrubs. I will be properly outfitted with all of these, as well as hiking boots. SO many good items in one packing list. Speaking of which, I must return to that packing. Expect new posts from Belize!!!
