i am thrilled to get the opportunity to go to a totally new part of the world and experience another entirely different culture, and while i am really excited to get there, i am probably equally excited not to be here.
i love APU and love being in california but the states is what i know and i am so glad for the opportunity to have the time to dig deeper into somewhere else that is so strikingly different.
i am also really excited about being dislodged. we are so comfortable here that we sleep through most of our lives and i am looking forward to having my framework broken up and experiencing life more awake and engaged.
and the PEOPLE. it will be interesting to be in a small group of people that are all crazy in the same way.
it should hurry up and be next semester already.
"So you'll go out in joy,
you'll be led into a whole and complete life.
The mountains and hills will lead the parade,
bursting with song.
All the trees of the forest will join the procession,
exuberant with applause.
No more thistles, but giant sequoias,
no more thornbushes, but stately pines—
Monuments to me, to God,
living and lasting evidence of God."
Isaiah 55:12-13
