Good friends, good food, and good music can have excellent effects on the spirit.
Last night, this room was full of people drinking, laughing, making excellent jokes in very poor taste, and showering me with affection and well wishes.
Now, I am sitting in the quiet, with my computer and boyfriend, and counting down the hours (18) until I leave my country for 17 weeks.
While I am excited, I have been experiencing much more of "shit-my-pants-anxiety" rather than anticipation. After last night, however, the anticipation is kicking in.
I have never experienced such overwhelming support from such a varied, enthusiastic, and often ridiculous group of people that I feel lucky as hell to call my own friends. Not only did you bring me half a liquor store (which I have bequeathed to my parents- they'll have a good summer, swimming in gin), you gave me renewed courage, humour, excitement, and I thank you all.
This is for you. Right now, I am still coming off my emotional adrenaline high from our Last Hurrah, but I promise you that my posts over the summer will not be as saccharine as this! I will try to keep you well amused and abreast of my adventures as they occur!
As we learned last night from a delicious, loudly coloured cake and a good friend,
Boa Viagem!
