Pre-hop nerves

I am leaving in about 12 days (11? Now that today is mostly over?) I have mixed feelings about this. I'm leaving a lot of things, places and people that I love, and I am also leaving some things/people/situations that I think should be more resolved prior to disappearing for 4-5 months. However, I am looking forward to a new set of challenges and adventures. Hopefully I will be able to deal with them in a way that is productive and doesn't make me crazy or an alcoholic.

So far, my biggest worries are: no mexican food, running out of money, not making friends, packing, signing up for classes, missing peeps here, and potentially not having a shower in my house. Those are not in any particular order. At this point I cannot say what my biggest worries are, to be honest. Oh! One of my biggest worries is that study abroad here at DePaul (which blows) will abandon all of us once we are gone and cease to help us in any way.

On a lighter note, I had a lovely day hanging out with some wonderful friends that I have not seen in awhile today and am working a crossword with George. It is marvelous.

So, hopefully these last several days will go well, and I will be prepared (as much as is possible) for the big trip.
