last entry before GRENADA!
i'm leaving for my cousins' house this afternoon and then going to the airport tomorrow morning. it all seems so surreal that 24 hours from now i'll be on the way to the airport, and 48 hours from now i'll have woken up disoriented in another country.
i guess i'm scared about the things that everyone's scared/unsure about. i wonder what everyone in my group will be like, if we'll get along, if we'll all be friends or if i could be one of the few that ends up not making friends, or if i'll come home with X number of new best friends. and i wonder if i'll actually get tan, or if i'll just get a heat rash.
and i'm also nervous about leaving behind the things here in sharon. here, i have an amazing group of friends, and more, that i can be totally open with. i know that won't happen right away in grenada, but i hope i can at least be myself. and as stupid/unnecessary as this sounds (i get this way every summer before i go to camp too), i'm terrified of not singing for a whole month, not being able to just sit and close my eyes and listen to jrb and everything. of course, i'm sure i'll hum and stuff but it's not the same thing as being along in my house and belting like there's no tomorrow.
i suppose all those factors don't even come close to outweighing the awesomeness of what i'm about to do. i'm going to a totally new place to meet new people and try new things, to help people and actually make something of my life. as much as i'm going to miss everything and everyone here, i need to get away from it all. and it's just about certain that i'll get some sort of tan. and hey, if i turn out not liking it, i'll pretend i do. if everyone turns out to be bitchy, i'll be a bitch too. nobody knows who i am. i could potentially convince everyone that i was an amazing soccer player, until they actually saw me try and kick the ball.
you should all write to me, but make sure you do it before july 12ish because it takes about 2 weeks to get mail, and it's pointless to write me a letter i won't get. i might get to e-mail, but i'm not sure how frequently and stuff. leave me your e-mail addresses because i don't know anyone's.
