"Bravery is being the only one who knows you're afraid." -David Hackworth

Well here we are, exactly one week away from my ship date. I can hardly contain my excitement, but wish I could extinguish my apprehension. In time everything will take care of itself, and I will most likely wonder what I was so freaked out about anyway.

It's looking like I have about 3 different sets of people to go out to dinner with in this next week. I have always wondered why people choose eating out as a means of celebration or departure. I can't seem to figure that one out. Hmmm...

Everything has been done, packed, and stored. All loose ends are tied, and I am ready.
