Feeling great right about now. It's been a good day. I slept in, I bought a new pair of shoes, I got a large portion of my packing done, had some great intelligent conversation, and I am listening to a great soundtrack.
The Snyder's came down for the weekend, and I always love it when we visit with each other because of the great talks that we have with each other. It's been a long time since I was able to have a good, in-depth, repartee with someone. It always is nice to talk to people who know you and have known you since before you were born. There is so much history between our two families that we click sometimes even better than relatives. I talked about film, God, prayer, my trip to England, the differences between generations, and wine (just to name a few topics). I am fully satisfied with myself right now.
I leave this continent in 2 days. It's kind of scary, but highly exhilarating. I will be traveling by myself for the first time in my life, to a foreign country, where I will spend 3 months of my life educating myself in a completely different system and culture. Everyone says that this is a "once in a lifetime" event and I know that it is true. The one point that I am most excited to find out, is how this trip is going to change me. I know that I will grow in many different ways, but what will I be like when I come back home? What is Hillsdale going to be like after living in a city of 200,000 people - 80,000 of which are enrolled students?
I CANNOT WAIT!!! :D
