Hi friends!! What time is it? Update tiiime!
A. If you need a translation, “E Day” = 5 days!! Five. Five days. Five days footlooong. (Ha!!)
It hasn’t really hit me that we are leaving this Saturday, and I’m hoping it hits me soon. In less than a week I will be in Guatemala – which is only the first let of our eleven leg journey. That’s three more legs than an octopus… quite a lot of legs. And quite freaky to imagine.
2. At this point I don’t really know what I am. I suppose that if I were a recipe, I would be:
2 parts excitement
1 part nervousness
1 part scaredy-cat
I would also be super delicious, but that’s not the point.
D. The past couple weeks have been filled with goodbyes and getting myself ready for the next 11 months. I have never been good at goodbyes, and I am also REALLY bad at packing. So needless to say I haven’t really been thriving during the past couple weeks!
Please take a look at the current state of my room: (Sorry mom!)
And this photo is from one of my hardest goodbyes yet. These are four of my best friends from McDaniel – probably four of the coolest people could will ever meet.
I keep reminding myself that on the other side of each goodbye there is a hello. So, goodbyes to all my friends and family leads to hellos to TEAM NEON and I-SQUAD, and I can’t wait to see you guys!!
PERIOD.
Haha – name that mooovie. You get a point if you do.
And a happy, happy, happy birthday to my big brother 🙂
And, just because this is a schmorgasborg-blog (a schmorgasBLOG if you will), I would like to share with you some other pictures that I have taken with my new digital camera!! It was my present to myself from the government. And I am having copious amounts of fun with it.
