100 Days

What will you be doing 100 days from now?

On any normal day, I would not be able to answer that question. But today is an exception...

100 days from now I will be sitting in the Chicago airport, waiting to catch a flight further west. 100 days from now I will have already said my goodbyes to family and friends. 100 days from now I will be on my way out of American culture and into a new and different culture that I will call home for the next few years.

In some ways, 100 days seems like a long time, but in other ways, it feels very, very close.
