Woah

Knowing that I'm leaving in three days is the weirdest feeling... I have so many mixed emotions. They are predominantly excitement, happiness, nervousness, and fear.  I am almost completely packed and ready to go. I just need to do some laundry, and put my clean clothes into suitcases. I just made some pins that I'll be giving to other exchange students today, and very soon I'll be completely ready to get on that plane. 
But I'm so anxious. It's weird because I try to picture everything in my mind, all the little details.  Like what the plane will be like, the airport, finding my luggage, meeting my family and all the people who will be at the airport, the town I'll be living in, the buildings, my bedroom, and my school... I have a mental image for all of these things and places, but I know that what my mind is building is probably completely wrong, because I don't know much about what these places look like. I know I'm going to get there and everything will be so new and not what I pictured... and it's weird knowing that, with as much that I do know, I really don't know anything.  It's exciting... and scary... But, in three days, (or four when I actually arrive) I will know...

The time I've spent waiting and anticipating the next year of my life seemed to drag on... but looking back, it went by very quickly... I'll be in Belgium in the blink of an eye! and I can't wait.
