getting closer

The big day is getting closer.  And I'm having more and more what was I thinking moments.  But that's ok.  I'll get through.  Now it's just making sure I have everything ready and do all that I can before I go.  Then I just have to go with it from there.  It's going to be scary and totally out of my comfort zone.  But what's life without a little adventure, right?

I did finally get all of the business office stuff sorted out and was charged correctly for tuition and such.  And I had to send a resume to the school so that they can have that information when they are doing internship placements.  I'm really hoping that given my major and work experience I will get to do something at a school or working with kids in some capacity.  But really I think the whole experience is going to be realizing that there are some things that are out of my control and I will just have to learn to make the best of whatever situation I find myself in.  I just have to keep telling myself that nobody comes back from a study abroad experience saying that they hated it and that they regret going.  I'm going to have fun, I'm going to learn a lot, and I'm going to be forced to be independent and self sufficient.  And I can't wait to prove to myself and everyone really what I can do all on my own.

And now comes the daunting task of packing.  I feel like I'm just going to have so much stuff.  And then I'll realize it really wasn't necessary to have so much... Basically I'm a terrible packer and just the thought of it is making me crazy.  But it's basically down to that and letting my family know when I will be arriving and figuring out how I am getting from the airport to their house.  Just those minor details.  Ha.  Wish me luck!
