Goodbye, America!

Well, this is it. The Jerusalem Center modest clothes have been bought. The bags have been packed and weighed (90 pounds just isn't enough :P). And the goodbyes, well, most of them, have been said. In the morning I'm leaving on a plane to go to the BYU Jerusalem Center.

It's really hard to believe. In less than two days I'm going to be halfway around the world. I'm going to be in Israel. It's just kinda weird to think about, the fact that I'm not going to be living in the United States. I think it's going to take actually being there to make it seem real.

I'm not used to blogging, so I don't really have a lot to say. I'm sure that I'm going to get better at it. And I don't really have any cool stories at the moment. The only really thing that I can talk about that's cool is my backpack.

I have the coolest backpack ever! It's made with the perfect sized pocket for everything! Laptop pouch, water bottle pocket, phone pocket, ipod pocket, a pocket for your laptop chord...it's super legit. It's totally worth a study abroad for the backpack. If I can figure it out, I'll post a picture of it. It's just super legit.

Anyway, the whole purpose of this first post is to say, goodbye America, I'll miss you. It's going to be an interesting few months without you, but it's going to be great!
