The day has finally arrived. It’s 1:44 am and after a very hectic day and night, I finally feel that familiar sense of calm that takes me over when I travel. Brian will be taking us to the airport in less than an hour! Brian has asked to be in the second, third, and fourth sentences of my blog post. I feel compelled to humor Brian because he is taking us to the airport and without him, our trip will not commence.
Today was kind of a cluster, but I battled it out and now I’m stress free!
I always love when some important detail about retaining my job comes in the mail without any notice and requires my immediate attention! It’s my absolute favorite! I had to bust ass and pay $45 today to get recertified, otherwise I might not have a job to come back to in 3 weeks.
I think I handled most of the last minute items from work. I felt like my desk was a non-stop social extravaganza of well wishers and questions. I’m crossing my fingers that there isn’t something important I’m forgetting. If I get some angry emails later, I guess I’ll know, right?! Right.
My midterm was due before I left and the teacher gave it to us a few days early since he knew I was leaving and wouldn’t have access to the web to do the final or turn it in. I spent last night and a considerable amount of time before class and after finishing it up and was finally able to submit it 1 hour ago. That was the last thing stressing me out, so now that it’s done. . .I feel GREAT.
So. ..backpack is packed, passport and money is in my cheesy belt wallet, and we’re ready to go. Anything I’ve forgotten I can buy when I’m there. . .for 2 Vietnamese dong. Preparation is complete. . . sort of.
Goodbye, Maryland! Hello Southeast Asia!
Ahem, I think technically you put me in the third, fourth, and fifth sentences :-)
