Acceptance is confirmed

It has become official - I have been accepted for the expedition.  This is really happening!  It is looking to be about 11 of us total; 8 group members and 3 team leaders.  This is awesome because I have been wanting to go on a trip with my friend Jason who will be a team leader.  These dreams that I somehow have managed to put off for so long are finally coming to fruition, I can still hardly believe it.

The preceeding is an excerpt from my written journal.
