well worth the wait?

so i realize that it has been FOREVER since i last posted on here and i apologize for that. but i feel like i now have some good things to share and hopefully (fingers crossed!) it will be well worth the wait!

i just returned on monday from 10 days in philly for orientation for the lasallian volunteer program. overall, it was a great experience, i met some really great people, and it really confirmed why i am about to embark on this journey, buttttt there were points during the week where i was not so sure about the next year of my life.

i feel like since orientation and probably until i leave i go through phases. the first phase is one of "omg...this is a terrible mistake...i have no idea what i am doing" and the other phase is "this is the right decision...i am going to really enjoy the next year...and i am excited to leave". and after thinking about it more and more, i have decided that this is probably somewhat normal.

it is getting closer and closer to when i will be leaving and i think with me realizing the little amount of time that i have left in my familiar environment, it is all becoming more and more real. its not that i dont want to do this, but its the unknown. its different. and for every bit of excitement i have, there is a bit of nervousness.

so ive decided to stop thinking about whether or not this is right and take the last 2 weeks of my summer to be with the people who are important to me, do things that i can only do on the east coast, and enjoy myself!
