Sometimes 7 days can feel like forever, other times it flies by. Right now, I'm torn because I want to spend time with my family and friends before I go to Rwanda, but I also can't wait to set foot in Africa. This next week is going to be full of packing, hanging out, sleep deprivation, excitement, nervousness, and finally tearful goodbyes. 4 months is a long time to be over 7000 miles away from friends and family and I'm starting to realize that as my trip gets closer. To be honest I am scared in the most excited way possible. It's like the first time you ride a roller coaster, half of your brain is telling you that you're insane and if something goes wrong you could fall out of this little harness and die, but the other half of your brain is cheering you on, telling you to defy gravity. You're scared of something going wrong, but excited for the chance to fly. If you stay in that line and ride that insane coaster you may have the time of your life, but if you get out of that line you could regret it, never feeling the rush of a great ride. Well I've ridden enough roller coasters to know that staying in line is always worth it. So in 7 days I'm getting on the most exciting roller coaster I've ever seen, and I know I'll never regret that decision.
