Over the last few weeks, I've been getting ready for my trip to China. I've been shopping, reading up on China, and, most recently, packing. As my departure draws near, I am getting more and more excited. I can't wait to see what's going to happen this summer!
On Tuesday June 2, I'm heading to Grand Rapids for Orientation. Here we will learn more about what we're going to be doing this summer. On Tuesday I will also be meeting Sarah Jo and Bettina. We've been talking via email the last few weeks, and I'm excited to finally meet these ladies. It sounds like we're going to have a busy week, but I'm looking forward to it.
A lot of people have been asking me if I'm nervous or excited about my trip to China. To be completely honest, I've been rather surprised at how I haven't been nervous. I am one who usually gets rather nervous about things, but I have not been very nervous about this summer. Maybe that's because I know this is what I'm supposed to be doing this summer. Who knows.
I would like to thank all of my family and friends who have been very supportive of my decision to go to China this summer. I wouldn't be able to do any of this without them. Thanks a ton!
