Goodbye

On Monday morning of last week i had to say goodbye to my family. I went on camp and spent a week with my friends. We rock climbed, mountain biked and thousands of other interesting and satisfying activities. I had such a good time and i would go back tomorrow.

Saying goodbye to my family was not terribly difficult to be honest. I didn't really miss them as i knew i would see them again on the friday afternoon. But i suppose you could look at it in a sense that in order to have a good time and achieve something, you must make sacrifices.

The next big, official sacrifice i must make will be in March when i depart for Japan. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I have been fully accepted into the exchange program! Minasan Sayonara! I am so excited and i know that there are sacrifices i will have to make and things i have to delay and put back, but over all i am doing it for myself. This is the most important thing and i know i will be fine and love the experience. The only difference is that i am leaving my friends as well as my family and i am also gone for just a bit longer. But i am excited! I can not wait to go and i can not wait to return. I just want to do it now!
