So it's midnight on Monday, and my flight leaves at 6 am today! To say I am excited doesn't even begin to explain what I'm feeling. To the dismay of my exhausted parents, I am not quite done packing, but I can never really pack until I'm under pressure. It's more fun that way.
I came home to St. Louis on Saturday afternoon and have been fortunate to spend three great days with my family and friends. I am going to miss spending quality time with everyone, whether it's in person or on the phone, convenient communication is something I will definitely miss. Tonight my family held a small party at our house to wish me safe travels. As many times as I explain to people what I am doing I am still not quite sure myself. But I think the excitement of the unknown is much more enchanting than having a detailed schedule. Hopefully I still feel that way once I understand just exactly what I'll be doing...
In addition to preparing for the party, my family has been running around like crazy helping me get ready, and thankfully everyone but me is currently sleeping. I will not sleep tonight, but I never thought I would. Too much excitement in these bones to rest. And with that, I will drink one more cup of coffee (not that I need any stimulants to keep me awake tonight) and finish the great task of preparation!
Here's to better weather...
