Corpus is much too small. I decided this today while Mom and I were trying to find a place to sushi and we realized there are only three or four places we trust. I wish I could have spent more of my time in Austin, although I know it was God's timing. 

I haven't even started packing yet. Oh lordy. 

T-minus two weeks

If I get into the habit of posting, this will be the way I keep friends and family updated while I'm off in Ankara for the semester. 

"Wait, aren't you supposed to be in Turkey?" If I had a nickel... At least they say it with smiles on their faces and not like I'm a disease they could have sworn they got the vaccine for. :)

Coming back to Austin for these two weeks has been comforting. As time goes on and I get to know the people I've chosen to be friends with in the last year, I love them more and more. I'm not sad to be leaving, but I'm definitely happy that I have such love to come back to. 

This is the conversation my brain has with itself whenever I think about Turkey: 

"Oh my God, I'm leaving to go live with a family I don't know in a Middle-Eastern country where I know three people (one of whom is five) and speak about six words of the language! What was I thinking?!"

"Hillary, shut up. It'll be fun."

"Oh, okay."
