So it goes...

So the time has finally come, I finally received word of my first deployment. I've got alot of different feelings toward the whole ordeal, part of me is really excited to go but part of me is really concerned and nervous. It will not be a difficult deployment compared to what alot of people I know end up doing overseas but as it is my first deployment it still makes me nervous. It really doesn't help that they keep pushing my departure date back further and further which really just draws out all the stress. I honestly can't wait to leave though, it's going to be so cool to be able to finally be in the country I spent so many months studying. It is a little hard realizing that I have to leave my family, friends, and significant other behind for 6 months, just knowing that their lives go on while mine will be frozen for 6 months. All in all I think it will be a great experience for me and I hope that I will learn and grow alot through this. I'll try to update this thing a little more while I'm away since writing these stupid things tends to make me feel a little better, and honestly it's really cool to have people leave you comments and messages in support of a post that you didn't ever think anyone would take the time to read. Peace to all of you and I'll see ya when I see ya.
