Wow. It's unbelievable how fast this summer has flown by. I feel like just yesterday I was wrapping up all of my finals at Georgia Southern and starting my countdown for England. Now my countdown is finally ending and I'm just one day away. My great adventure is about to begin. Honestly, I can hardly believe it. As excited as I am to leave, my heart does hurt. I am not ready to say goodbye to all of my friends and family, even if it isn't for very long. I can't wait for all of the adventures and new memories I'll be making, but it'll be weird not making them with my friends back home. It'll be hard watching them have fun at school without me, even though I'm sure they probably feel the same way about me being gone. I know tomorrow as I say goodbye to my friends and family at the airport I'm going to be a hot mess with big fat tears running down my face. I've never been good at goodbyes even if they aren't forever, but I also think that excitement will start to take ahold of me and I'll hardly be able to wait until we land. 21 hours, 31 minutes, and two seconds until takeoff. I'm ready.
“Travel isn’t always pretty. It isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that’s okay. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind.” – Anthony Bourdain
