I don't really know quite how to feel at this point. Amazingly, this trip is not quite real yet... I think it probably won't be until I'm actually getting on the plane!
I'm in the beginning vestiges of packing. The first step is laundry, of which there is a lot to do. I've been sort of gathering a lot of my stuff I don't need on a daily basis off to one side of my room. I think I'm going to officially start packing this coming Tuesday. Tomorrow is my going-away party, hosted by my parents, and then I'm helping out with my dad's business on Monday. That and I'm mostly afraid that if I start packing too early, I'll finish too early, and then have nothing to do from Wednesday until Friday. Which, when I type it out, doesn't seem like much time at all, but know from experience that two days when you're completely overwhelmed with nerves is really not the most fun thing to do. I'll be much happier if I actually have something to do (and packing, and then re-packing to double check everything) will keep my head somewhat occupied.
I can't believe it's almost time for me to leave! Here I am, making plans and last goodbyes to people I won't see for months. It's funny to think that in any other era I would be, for the most part, completely cut off from all the friends and family I'm leaving here in the U.S. But thankfully, the interwebs provides quite an easy way to talk to everyone.
I guess I'm off to go hang around the house for a while. Lunch with a friend this afternoon!
