I got my ticket to Philadelphia, PA yesterday to leave Newport News, VA at 9:35 on July 7th. Nervous to make one of the more final steps towards my Peace Corps experience, I had to take a few deep breaths afterwards to calm down. It finally struck me that I'm really going and these next few weeks will be hard for sure but also full of energy as I finish packing and storing things at my parents house. Looking forward to spending more time with loved ones and enjoying what Virginia has to offer.
