Request 1) First off, people need to stop telling me, "Oh, you'll be FINE! Don't be so NERVOUS! Flying is WONDERFUL! There won't be a LANGUAGE BARRIER!" In answer, 1) I know, 2) I can't help it, 3) I get airsick, and 4) I know. Reiterating facts in no way helps. Wishing me luck? Great, do that! Offering to pray for me? Yes, please do! In fact, that leads to Request 2.
Request 2) PLEASE PRAY FOR ME! If anyone out there is of the Christian persuasion, please remember me in your prayers! Pray for safe travel, good health, and no accidents (because knowing my luck, I will break something, sprain something, get sick, something will go wrong, random parts of my body will start aching, my diaphragm will spasm while doing something dangerous, typical Speed girl stuff). Pray that I don't get too homesick and get cold feet and back out. Pray that everything works out financially. Just...PRAY!
Request 3) College friends, keep in touch with me! Family, keep in touch with me! Friends in general, keep in touch with me! I want to know what's going on!
I believe that's about it for now...
"...You led them by day with a cloudy pillar,
And by night with a pillar of fire,
To give them light on the road
Which they should travel." -- Nehemiah 9:12

AAAAAH! AAAAAH! AAAAAAH!
It just hit me - this is the last week that I have to myself! Next week I have babysitting, dropping brother off at college, and visiting friends in another state! Then I have three days and I LEAVE! AAAAAAH!
Whew...Summer has gone by so fast! Hometown school started today. My heart still hasn't discovered whether it's in ecstacy or in terror. So much seems to have changed in my life, and so much is still yet to happen! I've realized that I only have a few friends from high school that have stayed friends, and even some of those bonds are a little shaky. I have several close college friends, but...I'm not afriad of them changing while I'm gone, I'm afraid that I'LL change. I'm afraid that when I get back, nothing will be the same. And yet, at the same time, I can't wait to go! I want to experience new things and new places!
If I'm so excited about all this, why am I still so scared?
"Behold, I send an Angel before you to keep you in the way and to bring you into the place which I have prepared." --Exodus 23:19-21
