well the day has finally arrived, and it's very surreal. i've been on a roller coaster of emotions in the last 48 hours when the immediacy of this trip made itself fully realized in my head. nervous, excited, happy, anxious, sad, fearful, impatient, joyful, etc. but here i am 5 hours from departure and not sure how to fill the time. i've packed, unpacked and repacked my bags 3 or 4 times over to make sure i have exactly what i need and nothing more. i'm sure i'll change my mind on some things after a couple days in Portland and even more once i finally get to Australia, but that's what endurance traveling is all about. i've said goodbye to everyone, made all my plans, cleaned my room. now we play the waiting game... awe, the waiting game sucks!
anyways, i didn't really have anything to say but...
hey, you, looks like you haven't had a chance to post since being in portland...i want to know all about how chad and robin's goings-ons, and how those canadian baseball players were. oh, baby! and of course, even more once you actually are down under.
