Once upon a time...

Perú, Perú. My beloved Perú.

It's an odd sensation to be in love with a country to which I've never been. But that is the only way I can describe this feeling. 

I started filling out the application today. Which means this is not quite the beginning of this whole adventure, as much thought and time thinking about it has come before now. But the genius blog idea just came to me right now. 

Anyways. Filling out the app, made it real to me. I've been talking about going for some time now, actually. Telling every one about my fabulous idea, listing off my list of goals. My parents just gave me permission to go a week or so ago. But even then, it didn't dawn on me that this is plausible, something that is possible. But going over the questions, was like "Wow. It's like for sure. For shizzle that this thing is gonna happen." 

Its daunting. Scary even. But I have this immense peace about it. Well, I'm sure much of it is peace, and much of it is naivety and idealistic, unrealistic, dreamy expectations. Although I in no way shape or form expect it to be easy, or "dreamy" by any means. But I guess its still kinda far away for the nitty gritty to really take root. 

And now my communications homework beckons me, as I still have life to live ahora.
