Almost There!

Guess how many days until I leave? Four. I remember being excited about having only six months left. Time flies! I have finally forced myself to pack, and I was sad to find that the kitchen sink did not fit in my suitcase, mostly because there was too much sunblock and bug spray in the way.

I am glad to be going, but I am going to miss everyone. I know that I have the best parents in the world, because not everyone could send their only child away, and not see them for a year. God sure knew what he was doing when he gave the stork this particular sarcastic pink bundle and told the bird to fly to my parents. It can't be easy, but I am glad that they are letting me go, at least for these next 11 months.

On another note, I would like to say that I am less terrified than I thought I would be. I was fully expecting to be breathing into a brown bag by now, but I am far from it. I am ready to go. I have the suitcase tags and everything. 

I have no idea when I will be able to update next. I don't know how often I will have access to internet. Who knows? Either way, the adventure is about to begin!
