Suddenly the summer is gone and I am in an airport on my way to Amsterdam. There is no terrible anxiety like last time I studied abroad, just a calm, ready Sofia. After a summer of lots of communication, within my family, my friends, my clients at work, and myself, I feel ready for a 120 days of not living in Chicago or Northfield. I am ready for this jet lag and the discomfort that comes with being in a completely different place. But most of all I am excited to see what Amsterdam has in store for me; the moments that take my breath away that I’ll remember the rest of my life, the ideas and knowledge I’ll learn that will change the way I see the world, and the effect I will have on others I meet during this trip.
I’m ready.
