Getting ready to go

I'm leaving in approximately a week from now so I plan on keeping this relatively short. I have spent the entire summer talking about this experience without ever actually realizing how real it would feel until now. It still feels awfully similar to a dream that I'll wake up from in a few hours only to realize it is second week of spring quarter with snow on the ground. I've spent the last few weeks saying goodbyes to family members, select friends and some people from work. I'm feeling quite nervous and anxious, but these aren't dark feelings. I'm also slightly annoyed with the ignorant questions from my friends that jokingly ask, "will you be living in a hut?" &c. I'm listening to music in this dreamy state wondering how dramatically altering this epoch of my life will become and how my future will be different due to this decision. It is too similar to a movie scene in which the protagonist is in a montage deciding to make a dramatic change with a sad song in the background so I'm going to put an end to this for now. I'll be back to write on the day of my flight!
