New post, 5 months later... and 3 days away from goodbye

As I start writing this post once more, I'm trying to remember what happened in these 5 months since the last post. It seems as though it's been such a long time... but at the same time, time has flown by!
I did have a little trouble, that was quite frustrating, with my passport and birth certificate, but that was handled and everything is fine now. I got an awesoe deal on my plane ticket and will be coming back for Christmas! My boss at my job even said she'd probably have work for me for the month of December. Financially, that'll help a lot. I was able to earn enough money to pay the school fees and -praise the Lord- I even have more than I expected I would. I went on a crazy missions trip to Senegal and came back alive and matured.
But now, as my room is a total mess, toiletteries and clothing all over the place, I can't help but wonder what's coming up next. Where will I be at this time next Sunday? What will I have learned (already!), who will I have met, where will I be sleeping/eating/showering, etc!
I guess this is the part where God comes and tells me :

" Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? " (Matt. 6:26)

So why worry?
Friday, I had my official bye bye party at home. I had invited a bunch of people to come and just hang out.... Lot's of them would say : "How are you feeling? Are you scared? Are you stressed?" Being my strong, mighty self, I would answer that I was fine, excited and just too busy getting ready to really stop and think about it. And then, that night, I dreamt that I was in Argentina... and I had forgotten a bunch of stuff. I guess at that point, I realized how real this departure is and how scared I could be. But I still feel fine. He's in control.

I'm going to finish off with a quote I found in a bunch of papers as I was cleaning my very messy desk (that, hence, didn't stay organized for long)

"It's a great comfort to know that nothing new in our experience will be a surprise to the Lord our God."

Prayer Requests

1. I will be traveling alone for about 24 hours. That God may protect me in the airports, that I do not miss any flight and that my luggage doesn't get lost in the mayhem that airports can be.
2. Adaptation. That I may feel at home on the campus and find good friends quickly.
3. Language. That learning Spanish may flow and not be an obstacle.
4. Financial. That the Lord may continue to provide throughout the year.
