Getting it all together
Jul. 14th, 2005 09:18 amIt has begun.
Two weeks from today I will be leaving Stuttgart. Two weeks from right now I will probably be sitting in the Charles de Gaulle airport waiting for my next flight.
So, I've started packing. It's most efficient way of cleaning my room I can think of at the moment. I have accumulated so much... junk... over the last 11 months, it's almost unbelievable. So I'm trying to pack the clothes I want to keep that I won't be wearing in the next two weeks, packing up notebooks from courses that I've finished with for the semester, that sort of thing.
I'm hoping this gradual approach will mean that I can have stuff done in plenty of time to move out on the 27th. I'll probably be staying with Dory that night -- it's close enough to the airport from her house.
I'm not emotionally ready to leave yet. Which I guess is okay, except that I'm not sure I'll be ready to go when the time does come.
It has been a wonderful year. I have made some great friends, and I am still meeting new people, and wanting to get to know them as well. I could honestly come back here for a longer stay next time. I sincerely want there to be a next time.
That's definitely an item for the "pray about it and we'll see" list.
