Intro

So I think the best way to start with this whole trip blog is to start with a intro about me...
My name is Stephanie, I am a third year at Oregon State University in Corvallis Oregon, USA. I am majoring in biology with a minor in chemistry (if I ever pass organic chem lab).

I am currently getting ready to do a 6 month internship in Tanzania at Siha Secondary School near Mount Kili. I will be teaching basically high school biology and what ever extra activities I get myself into. I am really excited to do this internship even though the rest of my family and friends are freakin. I've never lived or visited anywhere outside of the US before, I figure it is kind of jumping in the deep end with out knowing to swim or my scuba gear on. But whatever, I'm up for the challenge.

I'm basically a nerd, I love science, all areas but physics (maybe), photography, music, learning about different cultures. I am SLOWLY learning Arabic, I know a total of 12 words/phrases, I figure that it will take about 20 years to actually learn this language at this rate.

My friend, Jordan is probably the only non related person that will actually read this on any kind of a regular basis. But that is okay.
