My Last Day

Its my last day in the United States for the next year. Wow - that's a sentence I never thought I would be typing. My plane leaves tomorrow morning at 7 am - I will be leaving for the airport bright and early at 4. I have such a melange of feelings right now - excitement, nervousness, nostalgia, sadness, and uncertainty. I have never been outside the US, so right now I am not sure what to expect - other than a lot of people and not being able to understand much of what is said to me.

Last night around 6 pm the Fed - Ex truck pulled up in front of my parent's house. I was expecting a package and needed it before I left, so the postal service cut it close. I was relieved to be in possession of 4 tickets for Olympic basketball on Sunday August 10th! Now that I am excited for!
