Anxiety is closing in.

Prague is coming closer and closer.

I am so excited to finally quit my job and to go travel Europe! I found a facebook group for my huge group of American classmates; one guy is actually from my school, and I'll have a handful of traveling buddies leaving from LAX.

I got my registration account from the school set up. Next week I get to register for classes!


At the same time, I'm getting more and more and more nervous.

My Visa still hasn't gone through; I wouldn't have expected it to yet, but it still makes me anxious. One of the girls already got hers; she said it took 2 months.

I still haven't learned any Czech; I know we're going to learn it there, but I want to make sure I speak a little to help me get by the first few days.

I need to brush up on my German for the few days I'm in Munich.


Part of me is worried that something is going to go way wrong and enable me to not go. For example, my dumb aunt not sending out the check on time (I've got to call and harass her again tomorrow to make sure she's sent it), or Iran bombing Prague, or something.

I don't know why, but I'm really nervous about going. New Zealand was making me hyper and anxious to go; this time around, I just feel really cautious and nervous. I know it will be fine, but... I don't know, I've just got this feeling like something bad is going to happen.

It sounds childish, but I'm worried that I won't make any friends. I'm worried that my roommate will hate me or something; being alone over here is one thing, but being alone halfway around the globe is something else entirely.
