So, I leave in less than 2 days. I haven't packed a thing, my room is a disaster area and I need to go to work tonight for my last shift. This is starting to get real, my friends.
These are the thoughts running continuously through my head:
Do I have everything I need? No clue.
I have all the time in the world, right? Nope.
Have I been able to see everyone one last time? Not even close.
And so, here I am. So paralyzed with stress and fear that I am writing a blog post instead of working on my final preparations. I really should be getting clothes in the wash, packing up my belongings and getting myself into good headspace. I think I will grab some lunch instead. Sometimes neuroticism can be really enjoyable. Somehow, this is not one of those times.
Once I get to the airport on Monday morning at a disgusting 5:15am, things will be better. I am not going to sleep Sunday night, or for the first flight from Phoenix, AZ to Atlanta, GA. I will pass on the Atlanta-Frankfurt leg. If my calculations are correct, I should arrive in Germany without any jet lag. And we shall see how that goes, hmmm?
Until then, my comrades, Auf Wiedersehen!
We were sent off to N. Ireland with this, and I think it is a fitting sending no matter where your travels may lead, so carry this blessing as you head for Germany:
ReplyDeleteMay the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
Travel safe!
Love, Hannah
