One more week till departure! This time today I will be on my way to JFK to fly out to Cameroon with the other volunteers in my training group (whom I can't wait to meet!). It's crazy how time flies.
Last weekend I took my final visit to Jacksonville to see my college friends. With the help of my besties, we threw a "see you later" party at Blackfinn American Grille. I think about 50 friends showed up to have a drink and say their goodbyes. It was a lot of fun and I really appreciated everyone taking the time out to come see me! It was definitely emotional and bittersweet (saying "goodbye" and alcohol aren't really the best combination). I seriously have the best friends in the world, and I'm going to miss terribly :(
Since then, I've been spending time with my family and friends back home. Organizing my room, getting started on packing, making sure I have all my paperwork done...the list goes on. I have 6 days left stateside and of course I waited till the last minute to practically do everything. Let me just say, procrastination is a really hard habit to break, even post-college. It's not an excuse. It's a fact (lol). Tomorrow the family and I head out to Pittsburgh for a mini family vaca. Then two days later I'm out!
My anxiety is out the roof, I'm dreading the goodbyes at the airport, however I'm jumping out of my seat with excitement to finally get this thing rolling. 6 days people!
