It's now about t minus 7 hours before I head off to Europe. My bags are packed, my plans are set, but I'm not fully ready to go. After a long grueling semester as an RA I feel like that few days I have had with my family have not totally recharged my batteries. What compounds this feeling for sluggishness and apprehension is my schedule for when I return. Land, unpack from europe, pack for moving to boston, move to boston, start new job. All of that has to happen in under 24 hours, while my body will still be recovering from 7 weeks of road and 6 hours of jet lag. The idea of doing all this drains me.
Nevertheless I am also very excited. I have never been out of the country before (not even to good o'l Canada). Time to start double checking my packing again, I'll add more to this post later.
