Zambia, pros and cons
7 March 2011 02:04 pm( Cut for ginormousness )
Possibly there are other things that I was intending to put on this list, but I don't remember what they were.
I think what it boils down to is: I don't have any good reasons not to go to Zambia. There are valid concerns on the Cons list -- but I don't know that any of them are good reasons not to go.
And do I really want to be able to say, in ten years, "I could have gone to Zambia, but I decided to stay home in Philadelphia and be unemployed/work some boring job instead?" No, I don't really want to.
So I guess I'm going to say yes.
Somehow this feels a much more momentous decision than picking which college I was going to, or going to Spain.
Edited to add: I just sent the email telling her that I'll go.
