I still haven't realized that I leave for Peru tomorrow. I have no idea how the time passed that fast, I'd rather be back at school singing to old Destiny's Child songs in the middle of Saga. Of all days for plans to change, I find out today that Im living in a home somewhere rather than the volunteer dorms I was expecting. Sweet. I guess Ill be good as long as I can shower, nothing gets stolen, and I can contact home and take my online class.
While I am absolutely in no hurry to get to Peru, the bugs, the cold at night, the altitude, the language, the uncertainty, I cant wait. I cant wait to experience the country, live on a mountain, speak Spanish, and walk into some adventure that will become my life for the next six weeks. Sam thinks its funny that I will have enough down time on this trip to get bored. She likes to tell me to "wait 5 minutes," which I do not know how to do, but maybe it will be good for me. I hope that I can leave this experience with a sense of accomplishment. I want to make a difference in someone else's life, and I want to make a difference in my own. I hope my volunteer time is filled with difficult situations for me and plenty of opportunities to connect to another human at any level. I hope my free time allows me to learn more about myself and what is important to me. And I pray to come home safely.
Here goes nothing I guess.
