And I'm Off!

Visa for Benin? Check. Suitcase packed? Almost.
Freedom from all academic responsibility for the semester? Check.
Mixed emotions of disbelief, curiosity, slight anxiety, and sheer excitement? Check.

As I’ve been shoving all my earthly possessions into various storage boxes over the last few days I’ve been marveling at how fast the time has gone by. Even though it was months ago, it feels like just yesterday when I decided to go on this internship. There are so many people who have helped me get to this point that I don’t even know where to start in showing my appreciation.

Actually it wouldn’t be hard to start, but knowing where to stop would be the greater challenge. I’m really thankful for everyone who has encouraged me, shared my excitement, and helped me out financially. Along with this, many of you came to my art show, and put up with both my absent-mindedness and my incredibly busy schedule. You’re all really great, and I hope that you’ll enjoy reading my blog over the next couple months.
