I feel like there is no middle ground between seeing this journey I'm beginning as an epic adventure, and downplaying it as next to nothing. Both feel silly and incomplete, I guess I'm leaving tomorrow but I can hardly believe it. I can't think of any other time I've been this excited and had such little clue as to what I should expect. At the same time though, I'm definitely not nervous, maybe a little aprhensive from having my bag packed and no-where to really go, or at least not be going there quite yet. Also, I feel like I'm way over-packed, but only because i have a second backpack full of stuff I'm bringing people, mainly the bundle of positive news.
Home has given me a slightly awkward feeling of being crowded and cramped in a lot of space. In the sense that its a five or ten mile bike ride to anything, but there isn't necessarily something to do once I get there. There weren't many times when I both had something to do and someone to do it with. I did get to catch up with a few people I haven't seen in a while, but the toughest part is not meeting many new people.
Yeah I'm definitely ready to go.
