So after so much build up, it's funny to find yourself overwhelmed with excitement and in disbelief that departure is so near. I keep wondering if I packed alright, if I need to bring another memory card or whether or not I should have gone with the lighter weight thermal layer. Woooosaaahhhh. It's time to wind down those thoughts and just be present in these feelings of anxiousness, contentment, curiousity and fear.
It's been a trip of its own telling people where I'm going and what I plan to study there. "The coca leaf?"and then that look of confussion turns into a sly smile and they say, "ohhh cocaine". What an eye opening experience it's been already to see the misconceptions and simple ignorance that exists within Americans about Bolivia. Before this year, I would probably of had a similar outlook. I am excited to broaden my new view even further. Annnnd not to mention it's about 88 degrees in the room I am sitting in currently and I am ready for some cooler weather :-)
