Well this is it! "All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go" the funny thing is I hate this song but it rings more true than ever now. I have had my disaster, arranged the little things (they didn't feel little at the time), said my goodbyes a thousand times (some more tear filled than others) and now I just want to go. I had a wonderful time at the Fulbright Conference and realized now more that ever how much people around the world share my love of the international adventure. Image going to a place where everyone feels the same as you and is about to embark on adventure similar to yours. We laughed, we cried, and paniced together (some days were great, other days we asked ourselves... is your brain also feeling like it has been put in a blender???) and yes, we even bonded over shared cups of coffee and tea (which I am realizing I like just as much as coffee). I am going to get on a long flight now and try to sleep so I can be picked up at the crack of dawn at Heathrow (thank you Emma) but before I go I am going to quote our Fulbright leaders in saying.... ALL WILL BE WELL.
