The beginning...
From Niki in Australia! in Des Moines, United States on May 13 '07
Hey all. I decided I will start an introduction post to get things started. I am feeling a lot of emotions right now including nervous, extremely anxious, excited, and scared. Those are all positive feelings, however. I am anxious to get going for sure. I will do most of my packing tonight, complete my itinerary, and hopefully tie up all loose ends.
My plan leaves at 6AM Thursday... which means I will be up bright and early. I then fly to Chicago, then to LA. Thursday night I have orientation for the program, then we leave Friday at 11PM from LA to go to Australia.
I am feeling a lot of emotions right now including nervous, extremely anxious, excited, and scared.
I will be sending postcards.. but most likely they won't make it before I get back. Thus, just pretend like I'm gone.
Wish me luck!
