Kind of Bittersweet

Right now, as I'm sitting here in the airport, I'm blown away by the opportunity before me.  I absolutely cannot believe that my first flight towards London leaves in slightly over an hour.  It's completely surreal and something I've wanted to do my entire life.  As excited as I am for this amazing opportunity, it's rather bittersweet.  It's going to be hard to be away from Joel and my family for 7 weeks.  Even though that will be difficult, I am so excited to go and I can't wait to post about my adventures.  Bon voyage!
