Preparation...

Departure Date: July 15th, 2008
Destination: Federated States of Micronesia
Program: World Teach, http://www.worldteach.org/programs/micronesia_year/

My thoughts:
YIKES, here I am less than three weeks away from departure and I feel like there is still so much to do! Anxiety is definitely the primary emotion I'm feeling at this point. Also, I'm finding that it's fairly cut and dry with what I need to accomplish before I leave, however it's not as simple trying to prepare for the emotional transition ahead of me. How do I visualize myself living somewhere so completely foreign to what I have always known? I guess the best thing to do is to keep pushing forward and believe in my own ability to adapt and, hopefully, make anywhere I go feel like home. Yikes!
