The Day Before - 07/13/07

Well, the day is almost here.  Tomorrow, I will leave to go to India.  I am very nervous about leaving.  Mostly because I am unsure about going to a country that is very different than the United States.  I am also nervous about leaving my family for two weeks.  The longest I have ever been by myself away from all of them has been a week.

Today was also a very busy day at work.  I haven't decided whether it was a blessing or not.  I got my mind off of the India trip, but I don't think it calmed my nerves.  I had a phone call that I had to take at home this morning before I went into the office.  After I went into the office, I was pretty much in meetings from the time I walked into the office until I walked out of the door.  I didn't even have the opportunity to eat lunch.  Luckily, one of my co-workers gave me some of her grapes to snack on to hold me over.

When I got home, I packed for my trip.  It helped calm me, but since I got (almost) everything packed now, my nerves are starting to come back now.  I am hoping that I can get a decent night's sleep because I have never been able to sleep well on airplanes.

There are going to be some difficult days for me like today.  Everyone has difficult days.  I know that I will get through it though.  I know that I will be able to look back on this trip as a great experience for me.
