It is happening!

After a slight panic attack about a cancelled flight I am on my way to Indonesia in the morning! I’m a huge mixture of emotions. I can’t explain everything I am feeling and it feels like it all can’t fit in me anymore. I’m scared I wont know enough of the language and/or I’ll blank and lose everything I do have. I’m nervous I will do something culturally insensitive. I’m happy to FINALLY be going to Indonesia. I’m thrilled to learn new things! I’m excited to meet new people. I’m afraid none of the other kids will want to play with me. I’m still a nervous wreck because of the cancelled flight and the hour and a half it took to fix it. Mostly I’m feeling very blessed and overwhelmed that my parents are so good to me and so wonderful and have helped me so much in every way possible on this journey. I can’t express how wonderful they are and how much I love them. Without them this would not be possible. I love y’all.

Ok. To bed. My next post will be from Indonesia! Selamat Tidur Semua!

It begins…

Aloha all. I leave for Indonesia in 5 days. Holy cow! So I am setting up this journal to keep anyone who is interested in my current and future travels up to date. This blog is where I will record all my thoughts about and news from Asia as I travel about for my language learning program through my dissertation field research. Enjoy and Mahalo, Arigato, and Terima Kasih.
