The Final Stretch

I didn't get sick all semester...

until now.

WHY NOW?!

Allergies, fever, head cold... call it what you want.

One word can describe all those sensations: miserable.

That's me.

And so it begins...

So here we are, you and I.

In one week, 8 days, 192 hours... life will change.

Graduation.

I keep reminding myself that this is the last summer vacation. Because this isn't a summer vacation followed by a fall semester. This is a summer vacation followed by a year of life-changing, mind-boggling, and culture shock experiences.

I'm going to Japan to start a job that I wanted, a job that was my first choice. How often do people get their first pick of jobs? I feel very blessed, lucky, fortunate, and unworthy all rolled into one.

Let me say that again.

I'm going to Japan.
