Gearing up!
Okay, as of tomorrow, I have exactly one week until I'm off for my big European Adventure! Every day the adrenaline and the worry and the excitement seems to go up another notch. Tomorrow I'll be going to AAA to make sure I have a picture that works for my student ID. I'll probably also hit the mall to see if there's something I think might be a good hostess gift for Rob and Sigi in Munich. I'm so excited to meet everyone, but there's always the concern with meeting new people. I keep reminding myself that it's not about just meeting new people, these people are family and I'm so excited to be able to expand the contacts with my family. Then there's stopping by the travel store to check and make sure I have the appropriate adapter to work with my new mini netbook (a Christmas present from my parents) and decide if I want to get another pair or two of my nifty travel socks. Then packing (and probably repacking a couple of times at least)and sending some other stuff into storage for when I get back home.
In some really exciting good news, I passed my certification exam for becoming a Medical Lab Technician and, if I'm reading the interpretation right, I'm in the 90th percentile! It's very exciting and a great reward for two years with a lot of frustration and plenty of hardwork. Plus it'll be a nifty bonus for getting a job when I get back home in the Spring.
Let the final countdown begin!
