First Entry:
Well, I Think I have everything I need in terms of gear, clothes, and all that jazz. I have 4 weeks until I fly out, and the nerves are setting in. Whatever might happen, I have my friends, my family, and everything else is gravy. UGH I can't put anything else into words right now, but I have written Something in this journal - a starting point. I'm beginning all of this in Luck (wisconsin). That's a good sign.
