Goodbye Merica

It's been over three years that I knew I would eventually set off to Greece and in just a few short hours I will be doing just that.  What seemed like a futuristic phenomenon is now my reality.  I am about to sleep or "sleep" my last night in America for three months, and I couldn't be more excited, nervous, and astonished that I will finally be setting off in the morning.

When I travel great distances especially, I play out how the trip should go in my head and end up hoping that is what happens.  For example, flying in itself can be nerve racking at times for everyone but I make sure I know the route to travel beforehand to take note of what to expect.  Traveling over water has always scared me a bit, although I will just have to put that behind me as a large chunk of my flight is just that.  Also, I have a nervous colon so in situations such as these my colon is ready to act up.  I'm hoping that through my travels tomorrow this will no be an issue of course.

Overall I am very much looking forward to the semester and all the adventures that await me in Europe.  I would love to see my girlfriend, Niki, in Berlin because I have certainly missed her this last month, and from what she has told me, Berlin seems like an awesome place to visit.  Since she left a month ago I have been praying that we both stay safe, have lots of fun, and enjoy this experience of a lifetime!
