9 hours left in Philly

It is 3am on Tuesday, January 30th. Do you know what that means?? It means I am boarding my flight to Miami in 9 hours! I am so excited to get down there and just relax for a few days, but that also means I have to pack for SAS and also for Miami. I only have a few things left to put in which is great.. it took me a while, but I'm sure that's no surprise to anyone ;) . Today I bought crayons and stickers to give to the children at ports.
Kevin's blog reminded me that as much as I talk about how amazing this experience is going to be and all of the new things I will experience, I also always leave out the fact that the Nobel Prize winner Archbishop Desmond Tutu is going to be traveling with us the ENTIRE semester. I have encountered a lot of people who have no idea who he is, which I will admit I didn't before SAS. But he is an amazing man, so I recommend reading up on who I'll be having dinner and conversations with for the next 3 1/2 months. :)

I got most of your addresses or email addresses for letters/postcards and all that good stuff. I hope everyone receives everything I send, and I hope you all send me stuff (hint hint)...


That's it for now! I'm guessing the next time I write on here will be from the Bahamas! :)

Hi Brenna,
We think about you every day and where you are. Life is about the journey, not the destination and you are on a fantastic journey. Wish we were as smart as you at your age! Love and see you in 100 days! Love, Aunt Donna and Uncle Joe
