I met the girl I’m going to be traveling with to Lithuania (By the way, I finally learned how to pronounce Siauliai…it sounds like sha-lay). Her name is Kim. She has red hair and a friendly smile. AND to make her even more awesome, all she wants to do is travel. Best friends. Kim if you ever read this, I just want to let you know that you are freaking boss!
Today was a day for the books. Not only did I get to listen to every bad thing that could possibly happen to me while I am abroad, I also met two crazy Lithuanian dudes (are they all like that? If so, I picked the best place in the world), and met some people that I think are going to be very important to my life soon. It was a day of trying to stumble through Lithuanian, which I will never learn, and stealing two pizzas for only five people. It was a day of realizing that this is probably going to be the best thing that has happened to me. It was a day of connection beyond physical presence and safety in knowing I am not alone. It was a day of anticipation, I can see it now. I have a picture in my head and it dominates all that I see. I can smell the air, I can feel the chill on my skin, I can see the people walking around. It’s like I practically there already. This is what I was made for.
