headaches everyday
Well. It is almost December 14th. This means that I am leaving in 19 days for Lithuania. I will be there just a few days shy of four months. I am currently sick all of the time, extremely anxious, and basically feeling pretty awful all around. I am updating because I would like any information from anyone that has been abroad before. How did you prepare, mentally?
In other semi-exciting news: I am going to Philadelphia on Friday to eat at the legendary Morimoto's! I am so excited to eat sushi from an Iron Chef and have drinks with my roommates. I am sad to have to say goodbye to Lizzy and Alison. I am especially sad that I will never live with the two of them ever again. I just hate all of this change all at one time. It is too much for me to handle. I wish that I could lie here in my bed and not think about all of this, but it's basically all that I think about lately. I stay up late almost everynight and wonder what things are going to be like and what to expect. There have been times that I've even tried to sleep, gave up--and got my laptop into my bed and looked up Lithuanian DJ's and the like. I feel like I am losing my mind and have never been this effected by stress and anxiety physically before. Any help/words of encouragement would be really nice at this point. I'm feeling a little lost.
