I am nervous but also excited about this. Expressing excitement is not my strength; rest assured I am feeling it inside. I am also glad that I am not alone and continue to be grateful for the cheers and support from my colleagues at @abrir.bsky.social @almajeftic.bsky.social @brendanchng.bsky.social
