So.. two weeks from tomorrow I leave. What?! Thats crazy. I have been planning this for the past two months now, but it hasn't fully set in that I am leaving my family and friends, not to mention my country and everything I have known for 23 years, for a full year. Now it is beginning to be crunch time. I am having to seriously filter through my things and decide what needs to be taken, and what can be left behind. I am filling a large box to be shipped abroad before myself, and I have already begun filling it with pictures of family and friends that I know I will find myself needing almost immediately. I must admit, I am pretty overwhelmed at the moment with the thought of my re-location to a foreign city/country. My departure date will be here before I know it. Just 2 weeks to pack up my old life to take to start my new one. It's weird knowing that I have no more weekends left in Columbus, Ohio, my home. This coming weekend I will be in Jacksonville, Florida visiting my friend Jas. She started law school down 
there this past fall, before I knew that I would be making this move. She is honestly one of my best friends and means the world to me--so I needed to make a point to see her before I leave. So I leave for Florida on Wednesday early morning, in 48 hours from now I will have already touched down in the Sunshine State. I am staying with her until Monday (the 19th). I come home to Ohio to have 3 more days to try to get things straight. I then leave for Morgantown to spend Homecoming and my last weekend stateside with all of my friends that have become my family during my time at WVU. I couldn't imagine my life without these people, so I decided that it is fitting to spend my final days surrounded by them.. wow, getting very emotional right now, but I guess that is to be expected with the realization that the people I love most in the world won't just be a phone call away for a whole year. When I come home from my visit to West Virginia, on Sunday the 25th I have 2 days. It will be here before I know it. Its a funny feeling right now. I'm overwhelmed with what I need to get ready before I leave, and I'm nervous and a little bit sad to be leaving the ones I love, but then I think of the experiences that lie ahead and I become excited. A lot of emotions I guess. Well, I guess at this point I should be getting to all those things I need to do instead of just talking about them here. Hope to update soon, and I look forward to once I am there to write/update with more exciting adventures, I'm sure it will be much more interesting for the select few of you that actually read this ;) But for now, Tschuß--Bis bald xoxo
