What a whirlwind these last few weeks have been. Finals, Christmas, work, you name it, it has happened. I have been focusing so much on what is going on around me, the time has slipped away and here we are three days away from our departure. I have however found sometime to get started packing. I drug out my big ole suitcase, and received a carry on bag for Christmas which is going to come in handy! I did end up buying some new clothes as well, because I wanted to fit in a little more with the culture around me (and I am not complaining about new clothes). I have had to do some research about the styles that are commonly worn, and of course the weather plays a big part in what I can and cannot wear. The biggest issue I have ran into thus far about being gone for a week, is my work schedule. I am a cheerleading coach for my local high school, and have had to make arrangements for chaperones for the practices and games I will miss, what a nightmare! On a more positive note, I have been looking into the train and what to expect and I am very excited. This will be my first time on a train and I am looking forward to this new experiance. There has been a lot going on this winter and with our trip coming so soon, I almost feel behind and we haven't even left yet. I am looking forward to leaving and experiencing new and exciting things however I feel I may have underestimated the time it takes to prepare for the class, and the trip.
