One Week To Go

So...one week to go. yikes. One week before my life is flipped upside down for awhile. One more week before I no longer have my cell phone at my side. One more week before I say goodbye to all the familiar faces and trade them for a thousand new ones.

After a summer in Seattle I never thought I would be able to take off for another three months. Honestly, I was kind of kicking myself...but now that I am here, I am even more anxious to get going again. Its not that I haven't loved being home and being with all the people that mean the world to me, but its like I started down this road in Seattle and I haven't quite finished it yet. I think I grew up a lot in Seattle. But, I don't think I am quite done.

With one week to go I have looked at what I want to accomplish over this next semester. I mean, that makes sense, right? Find something to accomplish and just go for it. After all, what kind of responsible student and person would I be if I didn't set goals. So here it goes...just some first thoughts...hardly a final draft.

1. Pretend I know exactly where I am even though I am completely lost

2. Explore the idea of "humanity" with a stranger...preferably with a beer in hand

3. Play at the London Zoo

4. Get somewhere one way and back home another

5. Redefine someones notion of America (I refuse to be seen for the actions of another rather than the integrity of my own character and beliefs) deep, I realize

I am completely and utterly scared out of my mind, but wouldn't have it any other way. =p
