August 3rd.

Well this is it.
Last night before I leave.

How do I feel?
That's not easy to answer.
I'm happy and yet very...well...the only way to describe it is the Portuguese phrase "Meu coração esta apertado."
My heart is tight.

Meaning, I'm happy, but it's hard to do this. I hope you guys understand.

Today, I'd just like to thank all of you guys.
Here's just a few shout outs.

Brooks, for coming over even on his last day before traveling. And for his awesomeness in Years to Come.
Gibs, for writing a narrative on my pillowcase. :-P
Larissa, Quynh, Whitney, and Nathan, for calling me up a few hours ago just to say bye and that you'll miss me.
Rachel, for giving me a CD I'm "not allowed" to see.
Liz, for being honest even when it's hard.
Jeff, for having me over and letting me kill him multiple times in Star Wars.
Troy, for singing a song for me at the coffehouse even when it isn't his thing.
Josh; I hope he settles well at his dad's house and makes some great new friends quickly.
Amanda, for all her help in getting me prepared to go.
Molly, for the awesome video she made of this summer that put a smile on everyone's face.
Jan, for making this page your homepage, you creeper. =]

And others I know I'm forgetting.
I really love you guys.
And now, I'm going to go spend time with my parents.
Take care guys.
I'll write you from Japan.

Man this is all really exciting. I seriously can't wait to read some of your experiences...and I need to add this to my toolbar! I always forget about blogspot for some reason, then I sign in and you've got like eight blogs I haven't read.

It takes a whole lot of courage to go live in a foreign country. Good luck!!!
