Well y'all, it's time for me to leave. I'm super nervous about going because a. I have no one at this moment to pick me up from the airport and b. I have nowhere to live right now. I know I need to trust God and have faith that I will be taken care of, and for some reason this is hard for me. I have never doubted God and His ability to provide for me, but I've also never had it come down to the wire like this. I'm frustrated because they have had four months to provide for me, and nothing has been done. This seems to be the Middle Eastern way of living...be patient and things will eventually happen. My dean called me today and said he would call me in the morning with information about where he'll put me up for a while, but I also don't know when classes start. Baylor was much more organized and had meetings and such to prepare its students to go abroad, and A&M is sadly lacking in that respect. I know A&M is much bigger, but preparing students to live in a foreign country is something of a necessity in my opinion.
I am now the proud owner of a Nook, so at least I'll be preoccupied on my flight. I'll have movies, too, but I can only look at a backlit screen for so long lol. And I desperately need to read Mockingjay. I might go a little crazy if I have to wait until December to read the last book! If y'all have suggestions for what I should download, btw, comment on here and let me know!!
Nothing is packed, but that's nothing new. I spent last night with my best friend, laughing hysterically at memories from high school and wondering where we'll be in the next year or so. It was so great to spend time with her. I also am saying my last goodbyes to my grandparents today, so that will be hard. I know everything is going to be different around here when I get back, and I'm struggling to accept that. Pray for me as I go on this journey, and if you haven't already added me on Skype, do so!! I want to be able to catch up with everyone from back home and share what I can of my adventure with y'all!
