Busy, busy, busy....

The countdown has officially started. Two weeks from tomorrow and I will be on a plane to Dublin. I can't believe how much there is left to do.
  1. Finalize things at work and the possibility of working from home.
  2. Pack and sell the reminder of my things. (thank you craigslist!)
  3. Renewing my passport.
  4. Cancelling all my services, magazines, changing all my addresses....
  5. Did I mention packing? :)
  6. Trying to see everyone before I leave, which is getting pretty difficult.
  7. Keeping my emotional and mental sanity through this process.
So I'm just going to apologize now to all my friends, family and co-workers for any sudden breakdowns and freak-outs over the next two weeks. I'm all over the place. One minute, I'm excited. Next, I'm terrified I am making a huge mistake and overwhelmed by all that I have to do. Then I just get emotional for all that I am leaving behind. But I know in my heart this decision was a long time coming and ultimately, I have to do what is going to make me happy. This road will long and hard at times, but the end result will be worth it. I will have a masters and hopefully a PhD from a great school in an amazing new city with a new world of possibilities. What more could I ask for?
