GOODBYE U.S.

I will be leaving Mt. Vernon on Sunday and flying out of Columbus to LA. for my staging there... We start our training that day at like 2:00 pm and it ends at around 7 i think. Then wake up the next day on Monday and have training all day till about 4pm then head to the Airport to leave at around 11:30 for a nice smooth 12 hour flight non-stop to FIJI . lol As the time comes closer about a million things start inundating your head.. Things like, "What the hell am i doing?" and,
"Did i remember to buy and pack everything?" and,"Wow I'm leaving behind my friends for soo long..?" And of course the occasional Anxiety and panic attack that comes and goes. There is definitely a certain level of stress involved here. I'm still very happy about my decision and am just looking forward to meeting my fellow trainees and getting to know them and developing relationships with them. They will be my family for the next 27 months i guess along with my FIJIAN friends.
Once i get to FIJI i will make sure and let everyone know where any mail can be sent to me. And please keep the mail coming... I don't want to be the lone looser who never gets mail! lol
I will see you all in a couple years...! Wish me Luck!

Back Home for a Little......

So after a 5 day stint on the road from eugene Oregon back to Mt Vernon Ohio, i am finally back in my hometown where i grew up for about 10 more days... Its kinda nice to unwind after travelling for soo long and nice to finally not be working !!! Its a little more slow paced life back here which is just what i needed.. I am basically enjoying friends and family and getting all my things i'm gonna bring with me to FIJI figured out... If any of my Oregon friends are reading this i will def miss all you guys... I will also miss that beautiful state and the Oregon Coast...
Hopefully i will come to feel the same way about the FIJIAN coast and sunsets.... I'm having mini anxiety attacks from time to time when thinking about leaving for FIJI but hopefully those will dissipate with time! lol
Once i figure out my contact info in FIJI i will make sure to post it on here as well as my myspace account in case anyone actually reads this! lol
I'll prob update this one more time before i leave!!!
