Let me start off by saying...I'm excited!!! I thought I would be nervous, leaving for the unknown without a friend or family member to share this experience with, but I'm not. Although I will miss everyone I can not wait to start this journey!
In total contradiction of the aforementioned statement...I have yet to pack a thing!!! Being the truly analytical person that I am, and to justify why I have a master's degree in counseling psych., does this speak to something deeper? Am I really ready to leave? Am I subconsciously more anxious about this journey than I willingly admit? Ehh...who knows (I guess I should explore that)?
I think what I am anxious about is how in the world can I pack all that I will need for the next 2 yrs in 80 pounds worth of luggage? For those that know me, and have traveled with me, you know how much I pack. For a weekend trip I have one huge bag, and another "carry on" bag full of stuff. A sista needs to have options!! I have to pack at least 2 outfits per day...what if I want to change, or decide that the first outfit just won't do?!?! Geez...but I am working on it people (don't judge me)!!
