IVLI IN 8 HOURS

Let's just say that... I'm not excited nor nervous.

I think it just hasn't REALLY hit me yet. Usually things only hit me when things are in motion. So, I bet during my 30 minute ride to Ben's place (friend who I'm going with), I'll all of a sudden start laughing and yelling. That's... me understanding that I'm going to a month long retreat.

PACKING!

Packing, needless to say, was hectic. I have never packed for just one month before; it was always a week, three days, or half a year. I bought my suitcase just TWO days ago and it is working like magic. Size and space is perfect.

and that pile wasn't even half of what was suppose to go in here...

... but TADA!

In order to not waste any food in the house before I leave, I didn't buy any grocery for the past two weeks. Yep. I ended up surviving on ramen, rice, seaweed, potatoes, and green onions for good three, four days. I finally got my decent meal when Sarah agreed to sleepover and go out with me.

AND OF COURSE... we got Korean food. (: (which I forgot to take pictures of...) 

Sarah making herself at home haha (: 

I will try to keep up with this blog at IVLI, but I cannot make any promises. Apparently, the only wifi available is at the town's public library... which I don't know if I have time to go to. But I will try! It is definitely a one month journey I am willing to share (: 

Here is the map of our trip up to the upper peninsula! (8 hours...)

See you guys in about 16 hours! (:
