As I sit in my grandparent's house triple-checking my packing, I find myself taking note of a few strange things I have packed. Perhaps, in an effort to aid other future SAS students I will post my full packing list later, but for now, some of the more unusual possessions that are stuffed in my bag:
- two bags of Lego candy
- a buckle from a life jacket from Adventure Camp
- one blue morph suit
This is my last full day in Canada until June.
I spent the week visiting with friends and family. The last few days have been wondrous- I found myself glancing at faces, just enjoying the shape of their profile, how they laugh, the way they smile. Next time I see these people, I will be tanned with the sun of foreign countries and full of stories I yearn to share. Yesterday morning, before friends were arriving, I felt as if it was Christmas- the inescapable joy. This morning, I felt queasy. I don't enjoy goodbyes, but I wouldn't have traded these past few days for the world.
The world comes soon enough.
We fly out tomorrow for California. God have mercy.
