How I feel about going right now...


All the books I am going to be missing and wish I could take with me!

My stuff :D Packing is so hard.

Commence Countdown

There are only 3 days left until I leave, and I'm freaking out! I wonder what everything will be like there. How will I cook for myself? How will I teach a class of amazing 2nd graders? It's all so stressful and all so real and I don't know how to handle it. Praying helps a lot, but just the thought of being away from my family and friends makes me wonder what I'm doing. I know God has a plan and I know he led me to Palau for a reason, I just want to be there and get in a groove already! Its crazy to think that most people are just working a summer job or taking summer classes. I don't know what made me decide to do this, but I'm so excited and nervous at the same time when I think about it. It's going to be a fantastic adventure, and I'm almost ready to go! Got my suitcases packed and my pillow and carry on. Now I just have to wait...

Time

Time is flying by. There are exactly 29 days until I leave for Hawaii and training. It's amazing how close I am to such a big adventure. It's so stressful because I'll only be home for 9 days total until I leave. The rest of the time will be spent in Las Vegas, Spokane, and Seattle. It's fun getting ready to go. Packing up teacher equipment and posters was a lot of work, but I sent them ahead so my room will be awesome when I get there. I'm so excited to use my underwater camera! I got it a bit ago and tested it today and it works wonderfully! I keep wondering what it is going to be like but have to stop myself because then I'll stress, and stressing doesn't do anything good!
