excitement is building

the excitement is building.

along with nervousness.

i've never done anything quite like this before.

i'll be gone for six months.

no breaks or vacations.

there will be no visits back home.

to be honest,

up to this point,

i've never been away from home for more than a week.

and come april, i'll be half-way across the world for 6 months.

what am i getting myself into?

62 days until hawaii.
