FREAKING OUT.

I am leaving on Saturday. And I'm completely freaking out! I'm soooooo excited, but I'm terrified too. I think that's normal. I don't know... I'm just freaking out! And I bet you're all thinking, "Hey, I thought she was leaving on Friday??" Nope. Saturday. You see, that date was from my mock itinerary, not my real one, which I got the other day. So I'm packing and trying to get ready for this whole thing. It's not really working though, because I keep getting distracted. A lot. And there's so much to do, I don't even know where to start! I'm trying to clean my room, but I don't want to put away the stuff that I'm going to pack, but then I don't have anywhere else to put it! And I have to E-mail people and try to see everyone I can before I leave and pack and clean my room and pack everything in my room.... It's just crazy.
I am also freaking out because I HATE goodbyes. Even when I leave camp I sob 'cause that's just who I am. And I was bawling last Thursday because Hannah and Terri Anne left for college. I know that Terri's going to come home this weekend but that's the last time I'm going to see Hannah for a WHOLE YEAR. Almost, at least. I mean, I know that we can Skype and video chat and all that stuff but I'm still going to miss her! I'm going to miss everyone! Well.... almost everyone. I'll miss my family and friends. I just wish goodbyes weren't so freaking hard! Well, I need to pack... I'll try to write again before I leave!

  1. the first week abroad is so hard. You are still in a jet lag haze and trying to listen to the new language so much it makes your head hurt. Our whole family cried our first week in Brazil.
    But it will be amazingly better after that. Enjoy yourself. Take every opportunity to travel and experience life in Italy.
    This will change your life in ways you can't even think about right now.

    Enjoy and love you
