Well, I Made It.

I am sitting here at the Karkuu Finnish language camp. I have not slept in 2 days, showered in the last 36 hours and have eaten nothing but airline food, a banana and bread. I've met more people than I can count from more countries than I knew existed.

A few pictures coming soon...

Just wanted to let everyone know... I made it.

The Goodbye Party

Last night was my goodbye party and I would like to thank everyone who came out because I had a fun time but felt a little emotional after saying all the goodbyes :)

A few shots from the evening:

The next 5 days are absolutely packed for me as I try to fit in as much socializing, packing and preparing as I can. I leave on Saturday at 5:30pm!

Grand Rapids

This past weekend I attended the Central States conference in Grand Rapids. It was amazing! I met so many outbounds, inbounds and rebounds from Finland and my hype meter got a significant boost.

I also participated in the pin exchange - take a look at my blazer now!



18 days until August 2nd!
