This is getting crazy

 
I leave in 37 days. I have a lot to do and not a lot of time. From shots to support letters I will be busy no doubt. I have some crazy mixed emotions right now. On one hand I am getting really excited to leave and go on this crazy adventure for 9 months. One that is so much bigger than me and anything I can do. On the other hand I am so sad to leave everything I know, my family, friends, church, community, school, and life as I know it. It is the hardest right now because to be honest I don’t think it has sunk in that I am leaving yet. In certain moments it sinks in, and then it gets scary & super exciting at the same time. When I’m not in the moments of it sinking in it still feels like something I am just talking about. It seems like a far off dream in my mind that appears unreachable.  Like a hypothetical situation that I am just dreaming about… but it’s real. This leaves me with packing every last day I have with as many things as possible. Whether it’s trying to see some people before they leave for college, getting things I am going to need for my trip, or just soaking up the summer sun with my friends I am trying to make the best of my last days here. I am sure it will fly by so fast but I am excited for the 9 months that lie ahead!
 
So close!
