Thoughts before departure

With one day left before I leave, I am finally realizing that I have to leave. It is not some nebulous future that is pleasant to imagine and plan for - it is a solid reality that means I will be spending four months in a country where I do not know another person (yet), where my language isn't the primary one, and Western-style flushing toilets are not common.

Fortunately, I still have seven months before I feel this way about medical school and realize that I have just signed up to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars in order to - gasp - study more.

I hope that research on learning by osmosis makes giant progress in the next seven months.
