Today is exactly 2 months until I leave.
Wow. This day has come up a lot faster than I thought it would. I still feel like I have such a long time before I go, but really, it's only two months until I leave everyone and everything I've grown up with.
And I'm doing it voluntarily. I must be crazy, right?
Nah, not really.
To be honest, since this process started in November, there have been times when I second guessed myself, wondering if I really wanted to go and then I realized I just feeling different emotions.
At my Pre-Departure Orientation, the leader of it said it was normal to have different feelings about our upcoming adventures. It's such a weird feeling to have several emotions all bundled into one. My main emotion is anticipation, just thinking about the unknown. Everyone in my class knows my name and I don't know any of them (except Lorenzo). Fear is another one. How will I make myself understood with the language barrier? Will I make friends?
What do I say when the teacher calls on me for an answer? All of these things a swirling around in my head. Believe it or not, with all the fear and anxiety, I do have some happiness. The town I will be living in is beautiful and my family is so warm, I know they will make me feel at home.
I guess I will find out in two months all the answers to my questions!
Adios!
Erika
