I am so excited for so many things dealing with our trip, however at the moment one of the biggest things is to get out of this depressing weather and get closer to the warm sun, even if that means some rain! With all of the worries I had about this trip, it being delayed was never one of them. When our plane lands, this longggg wait will be well worth it. I am so excited to get closer to my 12 roommates and I think this trip is going to bring us really close as a group of friends and I'm hoping after the trip we stay connected. I can't wait to put all of our Monday meeting plans to use as we get right into the classroom and I am beyond thrilled to be going home with a student. I am so interested in their homes and how much their lives are different from ours. I think for the first few days it will be a culture shock for us, which in my opinion is going to be a great and priceless experience. T minus 50 hours and we will be in the Dominican Republic, FINALLY! (:
