In the midst of Midterms this week I really couldn't help but write something. I have 5,000 other things I should be doing right now but I really just have to write.
First of all, we had our training this last weekend with CCU2theWorld in something called "24", which basically we're put through different cultural scenarios. We went through an airport, got our passports, went through security, flew on a "plane", went through immigration, and endured customs. My team and I handled ourselves I'd say rather well. We laughed the whole night and we only almost got "arrested" a couple of times. Basically, what I learned is that I have the best team in the entire world and I am so proud of how well they did everything this weekend.
Today I decided I was gonna study for my Worldviews quiz but then had this urge to read through my CCU2theWorld leader manual. I have no idea why any one would want to read through a manual but that's the truth. Then I found a whole bunch of old stuff from the beginning of this whole experience. I had all the team member applications and several notes. I chose to read through everything I had and then proceeded to cry in my dorm room. Now I'm sitting in my kitchen with hot chocolate and my roommate is making amazing food for us and I'm trying to not cry.
Of course, these are tears of absolute joy. I am just so excited that I can hardly stand it. Even thinking about it makes me tear up haha.
Listening to Sigur Ros is not helping. I think it's making me want to cry even more. (once again, tears of absolute joy).
I have no idea what to expect on this trip this year since plans still haven't been finalized. All I know is that it is going to be an amazing trip with an amazing group of people, and I seriously couldn't be more blessed.
