Departure

Hello all. I have not yet leaft the states, but I am preparing to go. Lif is crazy for me now, considering it is dead week and then soon to be finals. I have not packed everything, and am still in the process of gathering things together. I officially leave the 24th of the month. Yes: I leave less than three days after finals end, and I am off to a country where their native tongue is not mine, where their customs/culture/lifestyle/etc. are not mine. I am thrilled and excited, and yet, I am scared. I am nervous, anxious, ecstatic, and am feeling all so many things, but I know it will be okay and that I will have the time of my life and won't want to return in the end. Honestly, it isn't real to me. Even though I have gone through the whole process, it just doesn't seem real to me, and I am, in some ways, in shock and can't seem to find reality.

Well, I think that is all for now. Until I go abroad and start my journeys overseas, I hope you all are well, and I look forward to updating you when there is something more to say...
