I've always wanted to know what's going to happen in the future. Who I was going to marry, what I was going to look like when I turned 16, where I would go to college, what it would be like to drive... all of the things that seem so exciting when you're young. I don't know what it is about knowing things, but I've always been a fan of it.
If I knew that I would be traveling out of the country for 10 months when I started high school about three years ago, I think I would have sat on my bed until the day the opportunity came to me. I don't think I would have cried as much as I did today. I also don't think that I would have taken for granted the things that I'm leaving behind.
Don't get me wrong! My posts sound utterly depressing, but I'm completely happy with my decision and this opportunity. It's a once in a lifetime kind of thing, I haven't even considered the option to turn it down! I think I'm just getting through the harder parts at this moment.
As for Arizona, goodbye! I'm leaving tomorrow at 5 p.m. (hopefully) sharp to go on a family vacation in North Carolina. Rent a beach house, make smores, relax for a week with family? Sounds good to me! So, if you happen to be wondering "Where is Alex?" I'm right on the beach!
