Where are the brakes?

Well, I leave for training on Saturday. Yes, THIS Saturday, as in, 4 days from now.

I don't really have anything all that fascinating to say. I just felt that the countdown being this close, I should post something. I will say that I wish I were able to excited about Saturday, as much as my teammates seem to be. I've been too overwhelmed with my apartment situation and fears about my inability to speak Russian and to be extroverted, especially in a new culture, to really remember how excited I was back in November.

But today was a good day. It was sunny and productive. And I found a new journal--I filled up my last one the other day. Perfect timing. Fresh journal for a new adventure. =) I think I'm going to learn a lot about what it takes to love and serve even when I don't feel like I can. I look forward to filling my journal with all of those things.

And now I should get to bed. Sleep is good--especially since I seem to be sick (or developing allergies?). If you could ask Dad about that, that'd be cool. :)

Thanks for joining me in this journey! =) It is almost here!
