than only updating a facebook page. so i'm moving my "base of operations" to this site. however, some of the other people on the team may keep the FB page alive. if you want to check, here's the link (followed by my last and only real post from that site)...
Rotary International District 6060 GSE 2009-10 on facebook
four days from now i (along with the rest of my fellow GSE members) will be on the way to Denmark. i don't think the magnitude of this trip actually hit me until yesterday. it was a beautiful morning, i was driving to work with the top down and was singing my heart out...and suddenly it occurred to me that i had to make that drive two more times and then *poof* i'd be on the other side of the world....
i know, i'm making it sound rather dramatic, after all, it's not like i'm not coming back....but this trip, or, whole experience, has the potential to be life-altering. i mean, think about it...how often do you get the chance to leave your job for a month, and go to a part of the world you've never been to, all for the purpose of meeting new people and learning about their culture - while simultaneously sharing parts of your culture and life with them? well, if you are at all like me, it's not very often. in fact, counting this time, it is a grand total of one.
anyway, that's just what's on my mind. well, that and obsessing over what i am packing in the hopes that i don't forget anything....
