Wisdom From Funke

     This past weekend was wonderful. I went to a Girls Scout camp for a couple days with all the outbounds and inbounds from our district except a couple. I had a lot of fun and was really glad for all the advice that everyone was willing to give. I was especially happy that they didn't try to sugar coat things. They clearly told us that there are gonna be some really hard times.
     It was a bit hard for me because I am the only one going to Asia and there were no Asian inbounds, so I didn't get as much specific advice as everyone else did. It also drove me crazy when I couldn't understand all the Spanish, but I did get to practice my French a bit, so it wasn't that bad.
     Overall, it was just a nice relaxing weekend and one more step towards my eventual departure. I probably won't be posting again for quite a while seeing as there really aren't anymore planned days with any of the inbounds or outbounds.
     A lot of people told me I was the brave one or asked me if I was scared to be going to South Korea, but honestly I'm not freaked out about it. There's no point in being scared “because fear kills everything. Your mind, your heart, your imagination.”  (Inkheart, Cornelia Funke)
