A Long Adventure

More like a long DAY. Sometime between when I boarded the plane in Salt Lake City and when I stepped off the plane in Riga, Friday turned to Saturday. How? Not really sure. It's a bit of a blur.

It's also been a blur of emotions! Anxiety, fear, sadness, excitement, anticipation. That's me! It's been an adventure in and of itself discovering my emotions, especially as I let the tears flow while boarding my flight out of New York. I guess I'm going to miss the good ol' US of A more than I thought! I'm sure my Russian neighbor wondered what in the world was going on...

But I'm here now! After months of planning, I'm finally here in Riga! And let me tell you, it feels good to have my feet on solid ground and know they'll get to take up residence for a while.

Monday, classes start. Tuesday, I meet the dentist I'm interning with. The adventure has begun!
