Preparing for My Trip

It is now Sunday night... 6 days until I depart. I am trying to organize my house and life since I will be gone from my current reality for 6 weeks. I am also trying to lay out clothes and supplies, update my iPod with Beach Music and tranquil sleeping music, but I am beginning to feel overwhelmed by all that I want to pack and the stark realization that it will not fit in 1 suitcase.

I have a full week ahead of errands and finishing up any work at school that will not last. Hopefully it will keep my mind off the butterflies in my stomach. This experience will be awesome in so many ways that I hope my brain will be able to process it as much as possible. As most people know, I am a planner by nature, and this trip is a big unknown. I believe that I will learn a lot about myself over the next 6 weeks. Will I like what I see...

  1. One of the things I tell my students going overseas is you must be flexible and maintain a sense of humor. Those two things will get you through anything. You'll probably be processing this experience and how it has affected your life for years to come. I'm so thrilled you're doing this and can't wait to read all about it. If I don't talk to you before you leave, have a safe flight and post blogs and pics when you can!
