Wow. I have one week left in the 'States before I go to India, a place unlike everything I know. I'm really excited, really nervous, apprehensive, etc. Its weird saying good bye to people and knowing I won't see them until June. The past few days, and the rest of my time here, have been/will be a blur of buying what I need to go, packing it all into suitcases, writing college application essays, and trying to see everyone one last time before I leave.
The fact that in a week from now I will be flying over the top of the world, on my way to India, not to return for a long time, really hasn't registered with me yet. I guess it really won't register until I'm actually there. I know that I can prepare as much as I want - read everything I can find, buy gallons of sunscreen, practice hindi and bengali - but nothing will make me actually ready for what I will see there and for how much I'll miss home and the people I love. So I'll continue to prepare, and I'll get on the plane, still not ready, but at least willing, to try this out. Can't wait!
