About to Leave

Well, I've finally started the blog I've talked about starting for months. It's almost 3 in the morning, and my flight from Portland to Philadelphia leaves at 9:10. All I can say is that I'm pretty stressed out about leaving, although I couldn't be more happy and excited about the next 27 months. I'll miss everyone here in the states, and I'll think of you all often, but I'm looking forward to meeting 60 fellow volunteers today. Well, I should probably try to get an hour or two of sleep now. I'll fiddle around with this blog later, snazz it up and whatnot.
