The Night Before

It is the night before my flight to Scotland and I am 1/3 way packed for tomorrow; yes I am going to bed with unfinished packing... I am not one to usually procrastinate but when it comes to packing I just cannot make myself do it ahead of time yet even finish it ahead of time Too many things to remember, see, do ,etc. Can I please just be transported there?! One day, oh one day. Currently, I have 1 carry on bag packed full of clothes, then my/my dad's humongous, break my back bookbag (ugh) will be packed in the morning when I put my laptop in it, and my suitcase that is almost zipped closed will be checked. I know I over packed but what do you expect? I'm a girl! -- with a love of clothes AND shoes! :) I wonder how I'm going to fit the things I buy there in my suitcase... I may need to take some things out now.
As of right now I don't feel nervous but I do feel quite anxious and just want to be there already. I hate dealing with airports and all the security. Although, as I recall with past airport experiences, all the anticipation of flying somewhere that you want to go takes over and the small, minute details that stand in the way of arriving in a different part of the world is just part of the journey. These pesky details will soon be over and out of my mind once I arrive in my home for the next month :) (Technically Scotland for a week and London for 3 weeks thought...)
I cannot wait to explore everything and learn a new way of living, breathing, being. I am so thankful I get to experience this, so very grateful of my luxurious life (thank you family :D ily). I know for a fact that I will want to go back but this way I won't live for another 21 years wanting and needing to exist where my ancestors, my own blood have grown up and lived before coming to States.
My excitement extends from experiencing the beauty and wonderful sights in Scotland/London/Ireland to meeting new people, soaking in new personalities and information.
Did I forget about my classes I'll be taking in Scotland and London? Woops... I guess its just on the back burner in my mind ;) Hopefully it'll be fun and teach me some culture because I am definitely culturally deprived especially after talking to my friend Lucie who is from France and while she was asking me questions about England --- I was googling them :) I want to learn. I need to learn.
Can it be Sunday morning already?? Oh wait, that would skip my whole airport ordeal which is part of excursion ;)
I feel like I have a ton of condensed energy that is being held captive inside my body and it needs to be released~ but the only way to release it is to be where I have been thinking about 24/7 the past 2 weeks. Maybe a run will help, too bad my Dad won't let me at this time at night ... good thing.
Next time I blog I will BE IN SCOTLAND!!! I cannot explain my excitement and anticipation at this moment; it is completely indescribable.

Love to everyone & keep me in your thoughts while I'm abroad
