I'm leaving in 9 days! I'm excited and anxious to leave already and I'll be there for 2 months and 1 week. It seems like a long time, but with all the things I want to do, I don't think it's enough time.
July 07: arrive in Ninoy Aquino Int'l Airport at 9:55 am
July 08: check out the room I'll be renting for 2 months in Quezon City (Q.C. from now on)
July 09: move in to my place
July 10: check in at PCIJ, go to UP Diliman
July 11: fly to Cebu
July 11-15: beach, family, check out the Cebuano Studies Center at San Carlos University, save some coral reefs at the Coastal Conservation and Education Foundation, have a mango shake, and catch a fish.
July 16: fly back to Maynila
July 17: begin my internship with PCIJ
July 27: Black Eyed Peas concert
August 4: Joseph (my oldest bro) arrives in Maynila, we both leave for Cebu for the weekend.
Sept. 4: my 22nd birthday
Sept. 13: return to Seattle
In between these dates I plan to write some articles for PCIJ, do some research for my Fulbright proposal, get letters of affiliations for my Fulbright application, interview Filipino activists, hang out with PADD folks, travel, read some books, buy some books, and update my blog. Can I honestly do all of this?
