Reality has set in...I am leaving!

I cannot believe that I am leaving the United States of America for the next year.  During these past few months and orientation, India seemed so far in the future, but now, I will physically reach my destination.  This is a surreal feeling.  

Questions are flooding my brain, and my neurons are over-sensitized.  Why has God called me to go to Kerala, India? Why was I placed in a girls' boarding school for the year? Will I have a Western toilet? What will my room look like? Will I shop for my saris when I get off the plane? Will I handle the spiciness of the food? Will people understand my English? Will I ever have any grasp on Malayam, the local language? I must wait and have patience because time will tell.
