Heading overseas
Bye, Au revoir, Pa ka!
My last day state-side. Last night was our last big group dinner at the CheeseCake Factory. I wasn't that hungry but I did have a Newcastle and a piece of chocolate peanut butter cookie dough cheesecake to tide me over until I return from my year abroad. ( I am assuming they dont have a Cheesecake Factory in Russia.) It was great to be with everyone all together before we split up to go to different countries. It was also great to talk with so many friends and fam from home yesterday too.
The whole team woke up at 330am this morning to say our first goodbyes. Cat and Haley were the first to leave.... Brighid and I are next to go at 5:20pm. I will be traveling for the next few days but as soon as I get there I will write about my exciting travels. Please think/pray for safe travels, but also that this would be really fun. I would love something crazy to happen so I can have a cool travel story to tell.
