Getting Ready

I feel like this trip is approaching faster than I imagined it would. It seems like I was applying for study abroad just a few days ago. Now with barely over three months before departure I am putting together the final details. The past few weeks have been extremely busy for me. In the midst of preparing to move I have also applied and received my passport, which was an adventure in itself. In addition to this I have been preparing my free weekend plans and getting an idea of what I'll be packing. Packing is slightly overwhelming; this is the longest trip I will have ever been on, and to think that I have to keep it as minimal as possible is difficult for me. I have always had a habit of packing for every scenario, and this time around I will have to rethink my usual packing methods.
