We're Almost There

After months of hoping and waiting, the time has come. Tomorrow around 4 AM, we will be saying goodbye to our parents and leaving on one of the most influential trips of our lives. I don’t at all feel anxious, instead I feel prepared and exited.

Before all of this was even a possibility, I really didn’t have anything to wait or work for. The ILC has given me that, from writing essays and interviewing to attending all the events and polishing my people skills. 

NOT as messy as it looks

I got home a little late today since it was eid, my family went out to a festival with friends to celebrate. As annoying as they can be at times, I am really going to miss them. After arriving at home, I finished some last minute packing and made sure I had everything I needed.

I am ready for the East Coast, I am determined to make the best of everything that get's thrown at me and to not let anything keep me from having a great time. I don't know how I will possibly be able to get any sleep tonight, my hands are shaking a little with pent up energy!

I want to come back from Brown, a stronger and ultimately better person. I'm super excited to meet my roommate and some of the other girls taking the class, as well as getting to know the other girls from my cohort better as well.

There is this one quote that often pops into my head, "I wish there was a way to know that you're in "The Good Old days" before you've actually left them", I already know the next two weeks in Providence are going to be some I'll remember forever, and I am determined not to waste them.
