I currently sit on a nice leather sofa in Spokane, WA, hours after completing the first half of this tangential trip to visit my dad's side of the family. Unfortunately I cannot breathe out of my nose due to this persistent cold. I enjoy sneezing as much as the next person. There is nothing like a good sneeze, but my nose is completely raw after the billion times I've sneezed today. To avoid sounding like a complete complainer and pessimist, I'll stay on the brighter side. Tomorrow will be a day for skiing in Idaho, always fun. Last time I skied was in Missouri on a fake mountain with fake snow. I had a blast on those artificial slopes, so I'm hoping that tomorrow's skiing excursion will blow my mind in the realm of winter sports.

| I made the lemon meringue pie for Bonney-Cranston Christmas! |
Although the date for my departure for Rwanda is fast approaching, I am finding it hard to pump myself up or get hyped or feel more than modest excitement. It's not that I think that studying abroad will be dull; it's that I am not sure what to expect. Accordingly, I am not sure what to anticipate. I have great hopes for this upcoming semester, but they are generalized notions with few particulars or details. Actually, come to think of it, I don't really know all that much about what I am getting myself into with studying abroad. Go-ED has given out some information, but largely I feel as though I will be walking into a dark room with a tiny pen flashlight. Adventure indeed.
