new beginnings

hey all, here i am.

still in toronto that is.

here, i'll be posting a journal a day (well, my goal at least) so you guys can be WITH me in Hong Kong as i begin to discover and explore a plethora of crazy things. who knows what's to come, who knows what will happen, who knows, who knows, who knows.

just thinking about going, and the anticipation in going makes my stomach churn just about a billion times over.

i'm really excited to go, but sad to leave. there's a lot to leave behind! my family, significant other, friends, familiarity, the feeling of being "comfortable", you know the like.

will i fit in? will i be able to trust my roomate? will i be able to work with the youth in Hong Kong in the same capacity with the experiences that i've had with youth in Canada? what kind of projects will i have? will i be able to conduct my research there efficiently? will i work well with my colleagues? what if i can't fit in? what if i don't have enough money?

that's just a few of the questions that are running through my mind.

anyhow, as more thoughts arise, as the day approaches, more posts will come, and when i'm in Hong Kong, look forward to daily posts with pictures!

please feel free to comment on my posts, give me new insight, humble me, bring me back to earth, keep me grounded, and encourage me.

thinking about going makes me miss toronto and everyone in toronto already!
