I'm about 15 minutes away from departing beloved Santa Cruz to start on my six week adventure traipsing throughout Western Europe. It hasn't quite hit me how long I will be gone, what I will go through, how much I will learn, or how much I will miss everything here. Sometimes I wonder how I ended up here, completely out of my element, but that's been my whole attitude with this trip... "just go with it." No matter how miserable it can get, it'll still be a great learning experience. As Bevan put it, "Your worst day there will still be better than your best day here."
I've already expressed this to a number of you, but I hope to receive emails from all of you updating me on what is going on with your daily lives. I have a feeling the internet will be a good friend on some days when I'm feeling a bit homesick. Instead of a mass email, I've decided to use this blog. It seems easier than writing 16 individual emails which would all basically say the same thing. But if you start the email chain, that gives me a chance to respond individually. See, we all win :)
My last night here was super mellow but I was still surrounded by some of my favorite people. Don't worry everyone, it's only for 6 weeks, I'll be back before you know it!
On that note, everyone should watch my new favorite show while I'm gone: Entourage on HBO.
Remember: salinalam@gmail.com
Have a great summer everyone! I'll try to post as soon as I find an accessible internet cafe in Dublin. Dublin... as in IRELAND!
Cheers!

I plan on living vicariously through you because my life is dull, so this better be good! :-) Happy travels!
