I have filled out enough forms to last me a a lifetime.
22 days.
22 days until my journey begins. 22 days until I board a plane to Europe to study and work abroad in London, England this fall.
These 22 days will fly by before I know it. Much of my shopping is already done, my visa has been accepted, and all my papers and forms are in order.
At this point, all I really have to do is go.
Everyone asks me if I'm excited, and I hear all the time about what a great opportunity this is for me.
It is. And I'm excited. Very, very excited.
But I'm scared too.
All the worries and fears about my adventures abroad shoot through my brain like a meteor shower. What if I fail my classes? What if I hate my internship? What if everyone hates me? What if I do something really wrong?
Each of these "what ifs" can become positive though: "What if I absolutely love my classes, internship, and make the best friends I've ever had?"
What if. What if. What if.
What if this is the best thing that ever happened to me?
I really want to believe that one. It's my favorite "what if" so far.
Most of all, I'm just excited to go on a new adventure. Not only that, but my family and I looked up my neighborhood on Google Maps. And it's absolutely beautiful.
These days are just going to fly by, and I need to remember to enjoy every single one.
One day at a time.
