One week to go nerves

It has finally set in. I have hit the seven days to go benchmark and the feeling I have right now makes it seem like I'm leaving tomorrow. I'm not really sure what to think. Maybe I have this feeling because I don't feel I am complete yet. I have everything laid out and lists made here and there for what to include, but I keep getting this feeling like I'm going to forget something and it makes me feel really uneasy. Maybe I will feel better once I begin to pack my suitcases. Stop procrastinating Emily!

On the flip side to things, I have a 4-word resolution which encompasses what I think will help me get through anything. Faith. Love. Run. Pray. I really think this will help me while I am away from home. I think I'm feeling the nervous tension because it's setting in that I'm leaving home for 3 months. I'm not going to Athens. I'm not going to be able to get in my car and be home after a 2-hour drive. I'm going to be very far from home.

Thanks for all the prayers and wishes from many of you! Your support is a driving force for me to be strong, confident, and endure all that I can while in a new place. The support is much appreciated.

So here's to the one week to go nerves!
