Quote of the Day

“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.”
C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves

Getting Ready

The countdown has begun. I leave on September 6th and right now it is August 21st. That means 16 days. those 16 days will be filled with me running around like a chicken with its head chopped off. My To Do List includes:

  1. Getting my Visa; I have applied for it but yet to receive it which means that I don't even have my passport... hopefully it comes soon.
  2. Packing; I have too much stuff as it is, so narrowing what I bring down might be a little difficult. If there are any suggestions for what to and what not to bring let me know! I will need all the help I can get!
  3. Finishing PT; knee feels much better but I still need to strengthen it so I will be able to do everything that I want to and more. :D
  4. Cleaning my room; better not leave it in shambled.
  5. Hang out with Everyone I possibly can before I leave; yep that is right. Trying to get in as many hours as I can with everyone that is amazing.
  6. Go to the Beach; it is summer is So Cal... and I have yet to make it to the beach. I need to go.
  7. Finish my last summer class; I have one final to go and then summer classes are done!


My to do list. Probably will get longer but for now it is that.

As I count down these last couple days, I get more and more nervous. New places, and people, in a foreign country. Wish me luck!
