It's Time!

Tonight is my last full day in the states! Tomorrow, I'm flying to Ecuador to start my semester abroad! My last few weeks have consisted of getting my visa back from the Ecuadorian Embassy, shopping for things I need to take, getting last minute odds and ends out of the way like finalizing registration at Olivet and renewing my driver's license, packing, and seeing friends one last time before heading out. I'm now packed and ready to spend one last night with my parents. By 10pm central time (this is also Ecuador time...well at least until Day Light Savings Ends), I will be in Ecuador! I'll leave my house around 9am tomorrow and head to the airport for the start of a long day.

Hopefully, from now on, I'll have more things to update my blog about, so I'll update more often. I'll also be linking pictures to this so everyone can see them. I hope you all have fun reading this and keeping up with what I'm doing. Feel free to leave comments or ask questions.

Also, a lot of people have been asking me about mail. If you want to send me anything, it needs to be no bigger than a 12x9 manila envelope. You can send mail to me at:
