i will be on my way to memphis to meet up with my group. thankfully, i've completed most of the packing. it took all day yesterday, with much help from kat and my mother. today will include a wal mart trip and a bit more packing, but mostly just spending time with my family. i'm experiencing very mixed emotions, knowing that this will be an amazing trip but also being very spoiled from this time at home. it'll hopefully take just a few hours to get in the right mode to really make the most of this experience. i think more than anything, i'm worried about my wardrobe, as we will be travelling to some very very prestigious places (state dept., meetings with senators and governors, the blue house in south korea which is the equivalent of our white house). there are also different cultural norms and customs to consider. maybe i should have researched more on those, but its too late now. i have reading of my own to do (like a book that i haven't even started on that was supposed to be read in preparation for this trip). however, i'm still working on reading the articles included in the course packet, and i'm almost finished. the tiredness can be put behind me if its what needs to be done.
as for now, i'm off to prepare and pack, and i will be writing again tomorrow with day one details!
