Think About It

People keep asking me about updates on my trip. I will not have any until I turn in my application on 1 May and go to a meeting on 2 May. When people ask, I either feel bad or freaked out. I feel bad because everyone knows me as a planner, so I am expected to have oddles of information about the trip. In a way I fell as if I am letting them down.

But this is a new me. I am not making plans, I am going with the flow. Its not like I am doing this on my own, there is a company that makes all the plans and takes care of us. I feel this is my chance to be plan free and to teach myself not to worry.

On the other hand, it is good that I am not thinking about it because, when I do, I freak out. Going on this semester abroad is scary for me. It is also a big thing for me. On my own, in a foreign country, and as of right now, I do not know a single person I am going with. I will be completely out of my comfort zone for 4 months and that scares so much. But I know this is where GOD is leading me (more like pulling me kicking and screaming).

No matter what I will try to make this a good experience and take advantage of where I am and what I am doing. But I am so scared, so if I am short with you when you ask about it, I apologize in advance.

Until we meet again,
