The Storm before the Calm
Today I started my travel. D-day to make a bad pun. But I rushed up to Boston to beat the snow that never really came. I'm sitting in a hotel room trying to read a stupid book and wondering about the next 4 months. I ask myself why I can't get as excited about everything as everyone else? I just only hope that I'm pleasantly surprised because right now things just aren't really falling together like I planned. I just have to much time to dwell on everything that isn't and not focus on how great of a time I should have once I'm there. I like to think that when I land in London on Sunday morning my world won't be different. Everything will feel right and I'll board the other plan to Germany among my friends laughing and being excited for the opportunity of a life time. For now hopefully a goodnights rest quells the storm in my mind and calms my nerves. So from now on only post about happy sightings and great adventures. Here goes nothing!

I think it's normal not to get "excited" about things like other people do. I know when I was leaving, I was barely excited, and I was completely alone. I was a bit terrified that I was going to spend the next four months alone, but it all fell together pretty quickly. I learned a lot and had the best experience of my life--which I'm sure you will as well. I had a very lovely German roommate who I believe I will be friends with for the rest of my life.
