Pre-Arrival

*Disclaimer* I will be posting a lot about my feelings and reactions towards what I encounter during this trip. My hope is that future "study abroaders" get some questions answered and become a little bit more at ease about what they're feeling both pre-travel and during the trip. (if anyone wants me to post about what items I've brought,  what I wish I brought, how i purchased my tickets/hotels/excursions etc. leave a comment and I am happy to do so) I'll try to keep these blogs a little short so I don't bore people.


So.... Today I leave on a 15 hour flight for Brazil. AND I am soooo nervous.

- Went shopping for brazil, left things in trunk for ONE night.
- My car AND everything in it was stolen early tuesday morning.
- I couldn't replace everything I originally bought for multiple reasons. I hope I have what I need.
- Ofcourse, I didn't finish packing until the night before........okay actually I still have to pack a little more this morning before I leave..... PROCRASTINATION at it's finest. lol
- Although this week was not the best, the amount of family and friends that stepped in to help has left me feeling so loved....I'm still happy.



OKAY:
     I'm praying for this flight, not only that it is arrives safely, but ALSO that these sixteen hours are bearable! My program is only in Salvador, Bahia, but some friends and I decided to go a few days early for RIO - because how can I go to brazil and not experience Rio? ... but that also means I'll be there during the craziness called the World Cup......


ADUES POR AGORA!
