In just 40 days I will be leaving the us for 10 months. That is just crazy to me but honestly it has yet to sink in. I know it's happening, I'm having a huge headache dealing with a few things needed to get ready but I don't think the reality of it all is going to hit me until I'm actually leaving. I think sitting in DIA (Denver International) I'm going to be so tempted to chicken out and just run back home (yes I'm a whimp XD) But once I get to San Fransisco I won't have that option. I am actually kind of glad that I only have a 2 hour layover because it won't give me time to sit and freak out like I did when I went to Japan (I was 16 and called my mom about 20 times during a 5 hour layover).
For someone who has traveled so much I am surprisingly nervous. I arrive in China on the 6th and take my placement exam on the 9th so arriving a day late would actually be really annoying to me. Not to mention I really don't want to have to stay in the airport for an entire day.
For now though I am working on getting everything together. I can get my visa soon and I am almost done collecting everything I need. I'm going to do a few trial packs and see if I'm overweight, I can only have 1 50lb bag, and see about adding anything or leaving anything behind.
And studying. Lots, and lots of studying...
