the beginning.

so, here is the beginning of an incredible journey and an extraordinary adventure.
and lucky me...I'm along for the ride.

a surreal sense of time.

I've been tick-tocking for months now. well, really just a month or so.
I've been watching the days quickly fall away and saying over and over "this is coming", and yet here I am...unable to pack a bag.
I can't really focus on it.
well...at least I made a blog. it's a good start for a procrastinator like myself.

so. I guess I should write about how I'm feeling. but...how am I feeling? this whole thing seems so completely surreal that I really can't even convince myself that it's about to happen. this is just some story that someone told me and I've been repeating over and over. I'm nervous for a million reasons, but mostly I'm excited and incredibly curious.

I think I'm starting to get a case of pre-departure jitters. I'm sure that once this entire plan is set into motion I'll be so swept up in it that I won't have another chance to be nervous. but for now...yep.
