In exactly one week from today, many a new adventure will have begun, many a new companion will have been met, many a new memory will have been made (look at those future perfect verbs used irl!). As you prepare for your upcoming quest, there are the physical objects that are necessary to bring, like toothpaste and gum among other things... There are also the things that you must bring that pertain to the mind.
To reiterate Sallie, an open mind, open ears, and an open heart are essential paths through which we are able to connect with and learn from one another, making your experience at GLA unforgettable and life-changing. We can’t do this without you. I hope that our co-built community will have a collective willingness to build bridges and life-long friendships, while simultaneously challenging and stretching our own understanding of the world through the context of ancient history and language. Lastly, take a moment to think about the phrase, “mens sana in corpore sano.” What does it mean? What does this have to do with what you are about to undertake? It will be your job in the upcoming week to ruminate on this and prepare both physically and mentally. Cura ut valeas, Kelly (RA)
