"Too many shadows in my room. Too many hours in this midnight...I could be wrong, I could be ready."

I have been so busy the last week that I haven't been able to write, let alone make sense of everything in my own head. I could write pages and pages about my trip to Prague, through nearly all of Bosnia & Hercegovina (main stop Sarajevo) and Dubrovnik. Everything we saw was beautiful and fascinating and new and fresh in so many different ways. Not to mention perfect for taking about a zillion photographs. I still don't think I can make sense of it all, even after a couple days perspective, that will take time. Overall, the trip was amazing. I got to see my sister, see her friends and go to the US Embassy to see where she works. I got to see places that few people I know have ever seen. I am pretty darn lucky. Thanks to my sister for helping me start my travels around the world. Next stop Dubai.

After landing at PDX last night after travelling for 32 hours with no sleep, all i could think was 'now i get one day before i GO TO COLLEGE. SERIOUSLY? Seriously.' Even after hearing about all my friends dorm rooms and roommates and classes, i still don't think it's hit me yet. All of the essentials are packed up in boxes, and i suppose i am techinically 'ready to go.' Ha. We'll see about that.

Anyway, considering that I will be awake in 6 hours, I should probably leave it at that. Hopefully the next time I write I will be all settled and love everything about college. ;)

Well, here goes nothing.

PS- HAPPY BIRTHDAY RACHEL!
