A Few Hours

This post concludes my countdown to the long-awaited study abroad trip! I'm still awake and finishing last-minute chores. Packing for a 68 day trip is challenging! I think I may have over packed, but it's way too late to fix that now. I'm not used to the meticulous work that goes into rolling  clothes and neatly organizing them into Ziploc and Space Saver bags. I've always been the kind of girl who throws clothes and shoes into a suitcase the night before and sits on top of her luggage in the morning so it will close shut.

Well even though I began packing two weeks ago, I'm still up past midnight on the morning of my flight, filled with nervous energy. Mom and I have to leave the house around 4:30 a.m. so that I make it to the airport in time for my early flight to Canada. My mind is flooded with thoughts of the Mediterranean Sea, warm sunshine, and the endless possibilities ahead.
