I am sitting in front of my laptop listening to some oldies. I should start packing, but I can't seem to get motivated enough. This should be an exciting trip, but I am just so nervous and a little timid. I admit I am a little sad. I don't like leaving my family and my beloved dog behind. I am afraid that I won't be able to give them a hand when they need me because of the distance. I understand that I should not worry too much and things will work themselves out. They will be fine without me. It's crazy. They told us that we will be homesick when we are there. I did not expect to get homesick before I even get there! AHHH! I am still debating on if I should bring my laptop or not. I can't live without technology!! But I'd be so heartbroken if someone steals it when I'm in Europe....
