For those of you who care to keep up with me on my little trip, this blog will mainly be a composition of my thoughts. First off, I still can't believe how fast time went. It seems like yesterday that I was talking about how long the Rotary application was taking me to finish, and then the day before winter break when I was running down the school halls in my ugly sweater proclaiming the good news. And here we are now, after a day of running around trying to pack and get everything prepared, I am sitting down trying to recall where the time went. For those who don't know, Rotary has been a big thing for me. I applied in 10th grade to go during my junior year but was rejected because the senior class was so large and I was just a sophomore. But now, now my time has come. I am beyond excited to get going on my merry way. The food, the sights, the people...I want to see it all!! I feel like if I were in a movie, my adult voice would be saying "This is the moment my life began" or something like that as some cool music played in the back round.
I must say, I feel like I know myself pretty well. Discovering myself (or something to that extent) isn't one of the things that I am really expecting about because I don't feel like it will really happen. Now, with that said, you all can say "I told you so" when I return home and say "I met a whole new me that I didn't even know existed!". I must say, I am interested in finding out how I will respond to different situations when I am tested (#trialsandtribs, Amber and Lauren). Also, perhaps I will mature a bit and become more worldly, so to speak, and that is something I am very curious to see.
To end this blog sesh, a bucket list! I have high hopes of starting a school wide game of Nerf Assassin (mainly to avenge myself due to my untimely death by Nathan Berthelsen during the NHS seniors game). I really want to try some exotic foods, maybe shark or a lizard of some sort (cooked of preferably). Learning the entire Indonesian language on the plane ride plane there is probably unlikely but I'll try my best. Lastly, dreaming in Indonesian would be so cool, I am actually gonna try pretty hard to get this one crossed off the list.
Until next time,
your wandering Holman
Dear Mr. Cohrs,
I am very sorry at the lack of indentations at the beginning of every paragraph, spelling and potential grammar mistakes, lack of quotes, and improper MLA format.
