Destination Unknown 2 - The stress sets in

So far I haven't experience nerves or tension about going on Destination Unknown. I've been excited about the whole process and ready for whatever was ahead. We had a great day of team training this past Sunday. We really bonded as a team and I am even more excited about going somewhere with these people. Then Monday happened and all the syllabuses started rolling in. I'm trying to get all my school work done early so I can go on the trip free and clear. I'm not missing anything big during the week I'm gone. It should be fine. I think the huge thing that is stressing me is that we don't know exactly how long we'll be gone. I could just be gone a week, but we have allotted 10 days. What if I'm gone the whole time? Will there be a point where the stress sets in while I'm on the trip? How far behind will I be if I have to miss 2 classes in a row? All that said, the Destination Unknown stress has finally set in. I suppose there should be some stress associated with going on a trip when you don't know where you're going. I'm still excited and ready for whatever God has in store.
