One more night before take-off and this week has been packed with preparation. I wish packing was only my trouble, but life has been playing with me. I have not only been shopping for tiny hair products and toothpaste for my flight, but also cramming three weeks’ worth of homework on top of working and last-minute doctor appointments. Yes, it has been a week of preparing for my trip, the flight, and keeping up with life!

I am very nervous and thinking about all the people I am going to miss here at home. I am very thankful for this experience and have to say, I am almost ready for take off.
