this is it.

after much anxiety, excitement, and hoop jumping today is finally here.  i am going abroad!  honestly i still can't really believe it.  i have already said goodbye to the mother and brother - dad is driving me to the airport.  i will try my best to keep you updated on my travels, but i'm not sure if my internet will be set up when i arrive - always an adventure!  this post has not been the most exciting one.  the next one will probably be terrible as well considering i will be jet-lagged while writing.  we shall see.  until next time!
