It's really starting to hit me. Everything is so fucking surreal. And that is why I am wide awake at 3:57am and have to be at work by 5am. Up until now I've been shrugging it off like it's no big deal. Maybe it is no big deal, but I just realized I'm leaving my beloved country for a year(max) and am going to sit in the desert.

This weekend, my neighbor two doors down invited my roommates and I over for dinner. They wanted to thank us for our service and said they would pray for us.

So only about a month has passed and I'm already a little homesick.
