The Last Hours Before Departure

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!

  1. 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! :)
