Right now, I'm feeling pretty good about my trip. I'm more than halfway packed, I have step by step directions for how to get from the airport to my dorm, courtesy of one of the organizers of the program (who, I have to say, has just become one of my favorite people in the whole world, because I was totally freaking out about that part of the expedition), and I've decided that no matter how much I worry, it's not going to change what I have to do, so I might as well just calm down. Best decision I've ever made.
I don't know why, but it still doesn't feel real. Of course, it was that way with China too. One day was "tra-la-la, I'm in my nice comfy regular world," and the next was, "Oh my word, I'm walking down the street in Shanghai! How on earth did that happen?" I'm guessing this will be the same way.
I still have a few things I need to do to be ready for this, but I think I'm in a pretty good place right now. The one thing I'll ask you to do is pray that I'll keep this calm I've got going. I know God's the one who provided me with it in the first place, so I'm just praying that He'll let me hold onto it for a while longer, say, until my return flight touches down at Sky Harbor.
Much Love,
