Well, it's finally here! My plane leaves in twelve hours and I should probably be asleep, but you know what, I'm going to be jet lagged either way, might as well make use of the last of my wonderful internet connection here at home.
I have finally finished all the preparation I needed to do before leaving. Even managed to fit everything in my suitcases without any trouble (that's a first).
In twelve hours, I will be on my way out of the country for the first time in my life (no, Canada doesn't count). It still hasn't sunk in. I don't think it's going to really sink in until I'm actually in Romania, but knowing me, probably not even then.
It feels like this has come so fast and so slow at the same time. I feel as though I've been waiting forever for this to come, but it also somehow managed to sneak up on me.
I know I haven't been waiting for this as long as some of the other interns, and eight months is such a short period of time. Looking back, I feel like it went so fast, my first year of college. And yet, Romania was always in the horizon, and now I can't believe it's actually here.
I am going to miss my friends. But I am doing a good thing, and I will have so many opportunities to help others, to make new friends, to learn and grow and mature.
And so, I bid you adieu.
(And please, remember not to try to call or text my phone while I'm gone)
Goodbye, America! I'll be back in three months.
