Final Thoughts

well, its my last full day in the US before i go to Russia for my exchange year. i can only begin to express all the thoughts going through my head at this time. that feeling you get when youve waited over a year for something and youre a day away from it, can only be understodd through experience. I am completely ready to go to Russia, my Visa came in the mail last week, my flights are still on for tomorrow, and mentally, ive been ready a long time ago. as for the language, my Russian is actually quite good for only an 8 month learning period. i taught myself Russian using Rosetta stone, Essential Russian Grammar, and Russian for Dummies. and for where its at at this point is considerably good. I finished my last grammer lesson today, i only hope more clicks in my mind come up when it comes to learning Grammar... Russian that is, ive given up hope on my English grammar.
I cant help but still think and look back at the start of my exchange training. me, wanting the land of the Rusing sun, doing everything in his power to the best of his ability so he could get Japan. only to have it slip from his hands at the last minute. I still believe there is a reason that I got Russia, but I wont know why until im there i guess (:
i get my last chance to say goodbye to my friends today, at the Scout meeting for my Boy Scout Troop. it seemed kinda cold for me to get my eagle and then immideately go to Russia. so hopefully they wont hate me as much.
the entire week before my departure has been "out with a bang". Michigan my college team beat UCONN 30-10. my High School beat Dublin Coffman, who we lost to in the Semi-finals last year to a bad call. 31-21. im getting really good luck when it comes to chance. i just hope it all carries over into Russia.
i cant express the gratitude enough for the people who made this life changing event possible for me, my Rotary Club, but especially my Mother and Grandma. I love you both and thank you for everything.
The Russian Anthem in playing in the background, a French girl needs her kisses and hugs, 28.5 hours remain. the training that 6690 gave me.
sounds live a good year ahead of me :)
До свидания США.
Жди меня Россия!
