This is it....... The moment I've been waiting for........... Less than 12 hours until departure.
I just finished packing and I'm about to sleep in my bed for the last time in a while. It still feels so surreal.
Ever since I found out that I had been accepted to Berkeley, I have been anticipating this moment. I have been so excited for months, but I would be lying if I said that I wasn't sad to be leaving home. It has definitely been difficult saying goodbye to so many friends these past few days, but I know that I will see them all again.
Tomorrow, my parents and I are going to drive down to the Bay Area in the morning and then head off to see Alcatraz Prison in the afternoon. As my dad said, "your dorm room will look so luxurious and spacious after going there!" No kidding! Then the day after that, we're just going to bum around San Francisco and get a better feel for the city :).
And then Saturday is move in day! I will try to post lots of pictures in the days to come :).
Thank you for all of your prayers and support. I will certainly need it as I prepare to embark on this next big adventure! I will miss all of you so much and you will always be in my heart. And I take great comfort in the idea that this isn't truly goodbye. I will be back, I promise :).
Sincerely,
Olivia
