The Road I Have Chosen

There are 11 more days left until I am out of Maryland - I am in denial of this currently. That is a little over a week - oh my god! I am really excited about my move - but I am getting a little nervous about being there. I received my contract today - that was great news!
My thoughts....
----I always said when I decided to create this blog I would be open and honest...I am trying to be. I AM excited, but I am nervous because I will not be consumed with "stuff to do," like I have been for the past 8 years of my life. This will be the first time, in a looooong time that I will have nothing to do. I will work my four hours each day, here and there take Spanish class - what I am going to do? I am bringing a ton of books with me, I plan to get into shape, I plan to bike around a lot - but what else? Think about it...I am teaching from 2-6pm....it gets dark around 8pm....hmmmm. I wish this was easy; I hope it doesn't take too long to adjust.

Some people in my life still are concerned and unsure of my plan, my reason, and my goals. I get that....I feel, that I want to be with people, to help others, to be some place where I need to learn another culture to relate - to understand the background of them, I want to be somewhere, where I can not worry about the things I do now. I know that I can have this in the states...but that is not what I want (or my heart) right now. I want to travel, to experience the world - and never be trapped by a job I sort of like, or a place. I guess I am scared of commitment...and the idea of not changing.

I have a lot of growing up to do, and a lot of personal realizations to discover...I can't wait.
