Okay, so the "oh my God, this is actually happening" hit me last night. It's an exhilarating feeling, really. Thinking back to my trip to Japan, the traveling part was the most nerve-wracking (earthquake excluded). This time thats all out of my hands, and it really puts me at ease. No worrying about whether I got the right tickets or filled out something wrong or have found the right terminal! So tonight I am happily resigned to my imminent departure and I can feel the excitement building in my chest. I've only studied the language for a short time now, but I already have the support network of some pretty awesome people that I am ecstatic to share the semester with.
Suitcase packed, carry-on ready, time for bed.
Here's to the bittersweet good-byes of tomorrow and the shining opportunity of the future.
Love you all,
~Abby
