There are only a couple of days left until my trip! I am so excited that I can hardly sleep at night. My luggage is sitting open on my bedroom floor and I continue to pack more each day. I still have a lot to do before I leave and a lot of people to see before I go. A couple of days ago, I met with a friend who studied abroad at the same university. She answered all of my questions, and addressed all of my fears. She literally drew me a map showing the street I will probably live on, how to get to the university from that street, all of her favorite restaurants within a couple of blocks, the nearest internet café, and a lot of other local establishments that will be useful for me. We talked for two and half hours non-stop. Afterwards, I no longer felt afraid or anxious about the trip. (If you’re reading this, thank you so much Ellie!) Now that all of my fears have been calmed and my questions answered, I cannot wait to embark on the trip of a lifetime!
