Holy toledo, its almost October. I leave for Thailand in 32 days. So much is left to do!!! On top of rather important tasks such as procuring a visa, creating a video for myself to help me secure a job, etc. I have all the lovely menial tasks like vacuum bagging everything so I can pack it all in, sorting out what clothes I am leaving at home and putting them away so mom doesn't have a hernia...saying goodbye. The like. Not to mention all the really fun tasks like dealing with account matters between my bank and my bills, figuring out just went I will need to start paying Uncle Sam for other loans. And then questions come up, like how will I do my taxes next year? Even though I am constantly reassured that I will never be out of touch with the rest of the world, I have so many questions and uncertainties about just HOW this is going to work. And I just feel that knot, like the one you get as you start to climb the first peak on a roller coaster. You know its going to be epic and one of the best experiences you could never otherwise imagine, and yet, you can't help but worry that you would have been safer never getting on the ride. And all I can do now is remind myself that there is no getting off the ride!! Get ready, keep an open mind, and have the time of your life!
