Thoughts on Departure: Andrea Mullin

Hey Guys!
I can't believe the departure is almost a hop skip and a
jump away. I can honestly say i have not been this excited
in a very long time. I am excited to meet everyone on the
trip if i don't already know you. I excited to be apart of a
new culture that after the lectures with the Professors, I
clearly know nothing about. I hope that we see things that
are nothing like we have ever seen. I want to take in the
Polynesian culture and reconize all the impacts that make
this culture who they are. I personally am going to be
keeping a close eye on the effects our people have had on
this culture because this aspect of the lecture that has so
far affected me the most. I am not too nervous about the
plane ride, I am actually unlike most am excited because
this means a lot of down time to read a book or catch up on
some magazines and I can honestly say i feel like i have not
had downtime to myself once this year. I hope that everyone
going on this trip is just as excited as i am and i cannot
wait to be in Hawaii!
