10 Days Until Training! Some thoughts...

Ok folks, so I decided to start early so I can start warming myself up to the blog and get used to the practice of writing my thoughts and posting entries. I must admit, the last time I did this was about 6 years ago on Xanga... so it has been a while since I journaled anything.

So its 10 days until I head out to Nassau for training. I am excited, nervous, anxious, and just overall overwhlemed in all aspects of the word. From my job responsibilities to the personal journey that I am about to face. I guess the reality is that this is the next chapter of my life (although quite brief) that I will face that has been described as "life changing," "thought provoking," "personally challenging," and all other phrases that describe an opportunity of a lifetime that is rooted in international travel and exposure to a diverse array of cultures and environments that I have never seen or experienced, ever.

Packing is not the issue, although some may argue that packing is the most vital, my major issue or concern is that I am prepared to do a good job, take time to soak in the adventure (hence the blog), and also focus on the importance of the exprience. It's all about balance - and since I have one shot to do this... I don't want to mess it up... anyway... since this is really a starter entry, I think I am going to stop writing here as my mind is already racing as I continue to write this to seek answers to my posed questions and themes to think about...
