In just ten hours, I'll be on an airplane to DC, and then forty minutes later I'll be on an airplane to San Francisco, and then the next day I'll be on an airplane to Seoul, and then three hours later I'll be on a plane to FUCKING MONGOLIA WHERE I'LL BE LIVING IN THAT YURT OMGEEEE IM FREEEAAAKING OUT!!!!!!
Actually I'm not really stressing all that bad. The last month has been awesome. I'm pretty sure I've managed to tie up all my loose ends, I've done all the stuff I wanted to do, and I've seen most of the people I wanted to see. I did my 9K two weekends ago (it went great!), I went skydiving (UNBELIEVABLE), I did some great hikes in and around my home state (always lovely), and I went camping with friends and family for a weekend at Moosehead Lake (my favorite place on earth, so that obviously rocked). My mom and sister came up for that last one and will be here through my departure tonight, so it's been great to be surrounded by the people I love.
My last few hours at home will be filled with eating and packing. I've got everything I need; I just have to figure out how to put it into my bags in the best way. My mom is currently cooking my favorite food on earth, fried haddock. She's also making her famous mac & cheese, which is probably my second favorite food on earth. Needless to say I'm in heaven. I have to be at the airport at 4 AM, so we decided to have a little gathering at Denny's beforehand, seeing as it's the only place open 24 hours around here. How better to remember Maine?
I'll get into San Fran at 11:20 AM, and then it's staging orientation until the evening. I'm excited to meet everyone and for the adventure ahead, but it's still pretty surreal. I don't have any idea what I'm getting into, but I'm pumped anyway. Good news for you guys though... this blog is probably going to get a lot more interesting. See you guys later! The next time I post, I'll be in MONGOLIA!!!!! LOVE YA!
