Life: Hopefully not actually flying into an apocalypse
So, flying to Germany tomorrow. Pretty much finished packing and everything, though I'm still in the process of backing up all of my computer files (mostly because the giant collection of all things Who takes a while to transfer around).
Number of trips outside the US before: 3. To Toronto, which is basically the same as upstate New York, as far as I could tell. I guess Europe will be pretty different. No Tim Hortons, for one thing.
I think I'm ready to fly over, but I keep getting this sort of daydream/panicky thing where I arrive at the airport in Germany and there's no one there. Not just no one to pick me up, but no one at all. Everyone on the planet disappeared while I was in the air. I am relatively sure that this is not going to happen, but I've already figured out solutions for the real anxieties. Apparently my brain decided to go for surreal anxieties instead.
Um. ANYWAY, this is basically to say that I'll be out of touch for a while after tomorrow morning - I dunno how long it'll take before I get internet for longer than it'll take to check my email. But I'll probably show up on Monday and go "haha, ignore that silly post, let me complain about how everybody speaks German over here, also I have no idea what I'm doing." I'm looking forward to the new and different insecurities!
