One week to go...

So here we go! In seven days I'm leaving America for a few months to do my junior year's fall semester abroad in Meknes, Morocco. I've looked forward to this for years, and now that I leave in a week if feels so surreal!

It's been a pretty crazy process to get to this point. Deciding where to go, when to go, how to pay for it...and now it's actually happening? So. Freakin. Satisfying.

Getting everything together these last few weeks has gone surprisingly smoothly! I think I had a personality transplant because I was so productive the last two weeks. The only major glitch? Stupid wisdom teeth. Luckily I had everything else ready to go before I was knocked flat on pain meds for a few days.

Now I'm at home in good ol' Hastings for the week and so happy to be here! I am thoroughly enjoying spending time with my school family after a long summer of separation, and before I jet off for a few more months.

Next Tuesday I fly out of Omaha. Elyse and I fly in to Madrid, Spain and meet Amanda for a day and a half in the city. Then they meet their program and I take a train into Granada, Spain to meet my program. We have five or six days of orientation then ferry to Tangiers, then to Meknes!

I'm feeling really good about everything, and so excited to get going! I love the expectations of new people, experiences, and adventures to come! :)
