4 Days before leaving

Today is Sunday.

I leave Wednesday morning for travelling to Paris.

AHH! so soon!

Yet so far away. The worries of travelling are upon me. What if I forget something? What if I get lost in Paris? What if, What if, What if. Our lives are consumed by the What If's in life. What if I would have just done something differently. How would our lives be different if we would have made just one different choice?

Going to Paris is something totally out of the norm for me. Something totally out of my comfort zone.

And I think I'm ready. Ready for change, and for adventure. I'm ready to travel with friends half way across the world, to an unfamiliar place for a month. Ready to eat new foods, see new places, meet new places and have new experiences.

Paris is the start of something new. Of a 4 month adventure I never saw myself taking. It will take me from Iowa City to Chicago to Washington DC to Paris. From Paris to Mannhiem and back to Paris. From Paris to DC. To IC to Bar Harbor and back to Iowa City before going back to school in early September. It seems to be forever away, and I can't imagine not seeing my friends from school for 4 months and rarely seeing my family, but the time will fly by.

I don;t know how often I will update this in Paris, but we will definitely try to update, lets say weekly, and we will see how it goes.. And if all else fails, i'm sure we will occasionally be on Sykpe (skype name: amandawoodin) so maybe that will work better.. Hard to say if im not taking my computer..

And hopefully, I can keep it up through the summer to Maine as well.
