The Eve of a Grand Adventure

Kiah Zellner-Smith
February 12, 2013

My last night before departing to Rio De Janeiro. Packing, tweaking out, spending time with family, and saying goodbye to my home- the tundra of Minnesota. You will all be missed (except for, snow)!

P.S. My apologies for the low quality and bad aspect ratios. If I wasn’t in the middle of packing and sending in housing applications for senior year I would have made this a more beautiful product. Promise I’ll do better next time friends.

I spend a lot of my time doodling, journaling, lip syncing in the bathroom, being inspired, laughing loudly, daydreaming, dancing wildly, and having tiny adventures. This semester in Rio de Janeiro will be the first time I leave the country and the safety of my family all by myself and I am simultaneously elated and terrified for my new adventure. I look forward to the many chuckles, challenges, and changes that inevitably await me.</span></p>
