Tomorrow starts the beginning of my two months living in Ankara, Turkey. Well actually Wednesday will, tomorrow I leave for Washington D.C for an orientation. My stomach is turning flip flops and my plane leaves Birmingham at 6:20 a.m so it is very doubtful that I will be getting much sleep tonight. I have spent the last two days trying to figure out how to pack one suitcase for 2 months! I keep going back to take things out, and the second I take something out I instantly regret it. Hopefully after these next couple of stressful/challenging days things will become fun.
