Update: less than 10 hours til departure. I'm nervous, excited, scared, ambitious, afraid of this journey- not so much the plane ride, but the distance from home. It's time to make new friends and a new home, and turn old friends into close friends. See some of you in Beijing, as for the rest of you, have a wonderful fall semester!
Update at 6pm: Going to start packing. Don't think it's going to get done, but i'm going to try!
And what better to do than to pack? Anything but pack! Before I head outside, I'm going to show a picture from dinner last night at Lombardi's with Cadie, Joyce, Carmen, Dambee, and Jessie. Where's Waldo?
