Today finished my week of classes at Wheaton. Although they were filled with grueling hours of class, reading, and papers, they were also filled with meeting the new people I will be spending the next six weeks with. One of the benefits this trip offers me, beyond the exciting travels, is the opportunity to get to know a cross section of the Wheaton community that I otherwise would not have met. Among the forty-two of us, we have all classes represented from freshman to graduated senior.
Tonight, I have to finish repacking all my stuff and study for the final tomorrow morning, but then I am off to the airport. You can pray that we get to the airport in a timely fashion tomorrow. NATO is meeting this weekend, and there is concern that our travels from Wheaton campus to O'Hare may be slowed down as a result.
I can hardly believe that I am on the eve of leaving. It is still unreal that I will be leaving the US for the first time tomorrow!
Wow; the whole week flew by (for us). I'm glad you've survived classes and hopefully the final went well! We are praying for you and your trip! :)
