My Amigos program... I'm excited, but just so... I don't know what. It'll be fun, I really don't think I'm scared or anything... I'm going to miss you all so so much while I'm gone, and most likely more than I'll miss my family. I don't tend to get homesick, but...
New people. A lot of new people, who don't speak my language. I think i'm going to have so much fun, but I'm just so RESTLESS now. Not to mention I've been home alone for the past two weeks during the day, reading and just... dancing around, finding something to do. I've hung out with people and whatnot, but I'm just so jumpy in a not-startled way.
I think it's some kind of pre-travel excitement. Like... will it just come already so I can finally DO this? I've been working for it for almost a year now, after all, and it's here. In two days. Holy frick.
Who will my partner be? Will we have similar interests, I wonder. Am I going to actually get to know my family well? In four weeks will I get my project done? Heck, how the heck am I supposed to decide what families are getting these stoves and will be planting trees? How do I come in, trying to be part of the community, and say we need to get to work fast because I'm worried we don't have enough time?
Ugh. Restless rant. I know I'm going to have an amazing experience. I know I'm going to have fun. I know I'll probably get minorly sick at least once, and I'm looking forward to getting my laugh about it. I hope you all will put up with me when I return; I may need to have long(er than usual) talking sprees to go on and on so that I can get back to normality. Culture shock, here I come!!
