Tomorrow, I'm finished with classes. Within in a week, I'll be on a plane to Indonesia. By myself. Not going to lie, I'm pretty nervous. The furthest I've flown alone is Washington, D.C. and flying domestically is completely different from flying internationally. I know it'll work out, though... I'm pretty pumped for my own personal TV on the back of the seat. (If there isn't one when I fly over the Pacific, I am going to feel gypped.)
More than anything though, I'm anxious about touching down in Indonesia. Because of the amazing deal Baba (Dad) got on the flight, I am ending up in Indonesia a day before everyone else. I feel bad that they have to send a separate car for just me... and it really is my fault, I think I told Dad the wrong date. Oops. Navigating the airport by myself makes me a little worried. Which reminds me... I should check to see who I would be looking for. My flight is out of Detroit. It'll be Detroit -- Atlanta -- Seoul -- Denpasar, Bali. It seems a little round about, but I don't mind since it's a virtually free trip. (Oh, how I love frequent flyer miles!)
It's going to be weird not having my laptop at my fingertips 24/7. Really, I could bring it along with me, but this 17" thing is giiiaaant and I don't want to risk bringing it so far away from home. Though I have some idea of what our GIEU field site is doing, I still feel vague on the actual details. (Agustini, our site leader, said she'll go over everything when we arrive.)
That's that for now! Time for me to head to my second-to-last exam. The weather is unnaturally chilly today after straight 80s for the last few. How sad..

summer 2009, thus far, has been a fascinating, rewarding adventure. studying abroad in indonesia for a month, i returned home to thereafter go to chicago for an amazing spiritual retreat for young adults. the combination of the two has me looking at life with a fresh perspective.
as i leave for india, i'll definitely continue to keep track of my experiences there, here! i'm a huge fan of the old school pen-and-paper journalling, but blogging is tons of fun too -- and a great way to stay in touch with everyone at home.
hit me up with a comment -- i'd love to hear from you all!
peace & love,
Nina
