Hello lovely friends!!
Well it's 3 weeks until I leave Lexington on my grand adventure! (I hadn't actually calculated that until just now- THAT'S SOON- only moderate terror!)
Now this is going to shock you all: There's a ton of stuff that you have to do when you move to another country. Like bank stuff and cell phone stuff and going to all of your various doctors. Not to mention that you have to get rid of all our earthly possessions so that all your stuff fits into two suitcases. Add that to trying to see everyone you know before you leave, and pre-training assignments. All in all, it's been a bit hectic over here in the 859.
Hectic is a fun word- but the reality is not always quite as fun as that word makes it seem. The stress level is PRETTY HIGH at times! My poor dear parents have to deal with my snappiness. The lists of "To Dos" are pretty long, but I'm slowly chiseling away at it. -Speaking of chiseling- think of how overwhelmed the sculptor of Mt. Rushmore, or the Trevi Fountain, or those huge Buddha statues felt- there's no way I'm that stressed- use that to get you through all of your stressful moments (getting me through the day).
But in reality- it's not all that bad. I may be a tiny bit overdramatic. It's super satisfying to finish a paper or get rid of 85% of my belongings. I'm still incredibly excited to get this started, and every little step toward it is really lovely.
If anyone has any suggestions or tips on how to make transition, please let me know. Particularly electronical things- I am literally useless in this area.
3.5 Weeks!!! :)
