About One More Month!

I can't believe it, Christmas has already come and gone and its almost time to celebrate the new year! And to think, one year ago I was on the couch sleeping with mono and so many other problems! This year I started my running career, I went on a trip of a lifetime to the Amazon, I shared a lovely vacation to Hilton Head with my family, I moved into a new house at school, I turned 21 years old and so many other wonderful things! I'm sure 2011 holds many more adventures and I can't wait to get the year rolling. I leave for South Africa officially (although I don't have my Study Permit yet, but my flight is booked!) on February 2nd and I won't return until June 26th! A whole five months away from my family and friends! It is going to be tough, but I'll be able to talk and send pictures the entire time I am gone which will make staying in touch so much easier. As of right now, I am just working and relaxing until I leave. I am beyond excited and can't wait to add another push pin to my world map that marks the places I have been. It isn't even close to being full yet, but I am hoping by the time I am out of college there will be quite a few push pins at the far corners of the world!
