Sorry for any spelling mistakes, but I'm still learning how to stumble my way across a European keyboard. It's getting better, but... still not great. So I've been in Belgium for just over a week now, and I've had an amazing time so far. I wish I could post some pictures right now, but my computer and the wireless router at Brianna's host families house are having some major compatibility issues (virus maybe?) therefore I can't put them up.

Right now I am at the airport, sniping some time on the computer before I get on my flight to Belgium to see Brianna.

Three and a half days until I leave home for a year. I am definetly starting to feel anxious... and extremely nervous. I've never even lived on my own before, let alone in another country by myself. But I feel like I need to take a big step like this in my life. The past year was good because I worked, grew up a little, and made some new friends, but really, I didn't get anything accomplished.
