Trying to fall asleep the night before setting out on a 6 month adventure of living in another country that speaks a language I'm just learning is a pretty difficult thing to do. It is a constant internal struggle between my body which says, "I need sleep; We've been running around since 8 am this morning buying last minute supplies and trying to shove way too much stuff into way too little luggage" and my mind which says, "You forgot this and that, and you need to do this in the morning and are you
sure you have your passport?". It's pretty frustrating.
This is one of the few times that I've truly been able to reflect on what I am about to do. Up until this moment, all my energy has focused on the preparation for the journey, and not enough on the journey. I am so thankful, nervous, excited, thrilled and anxious to begin. It still hasn't quite hit me yet, though. I'll keep you posted on when my mind fully registers what is happening.
