Its all a blurr....

The days are whizzing by. I always thought my life moved pretty quickly as I went from school to work, to meetings, to working out, to see my boyfriend, to going out with friends. But the past week has a much different feel. Even though I feel like I am on vacation (because I'm not going to school, but am working at least 6 days... somehow this is a vacation to my sick mind), the days seem like they will have an inevitable end. And I guess the days are coming to end (at least the ones in Michigan). I am so excited to be leaving but am starting to consider the serious possibility that I may experience some homesickness or perhaps, *gasp*, some sadness. The thought of only having two weeks left before I leave is almost gloomy... but then again maybe because it isn't negative 10 degrees and the snow has actually melted outside. We're suppose to get another storm tomorrow so, I let you know how I feel after that.

I am beginning to wonder what I am really expecting to get out of this trip, and how I will be different once I get back. My prediction is that I will be wierder, if that is possible, once I get back. How can you possible go to so many countries and have so many experiences and not come back a little strange? I have a feeling that my tolerance for handling peoples' egotistical, ethnocentric bull shit will probably be the first to go... but we'll see!
