Excitment and Nerves

I cant believe that it has been almost 2 weeks of summer vacation already, and that there is less than 2 weeks until I leave to go to school at UC Davis! It feels so unreal. Preparing for my 4 weeks away is a lot of work. There is shopping, making and remaking todo lists, money organizing, etc. Yet, it is still hard for me to believe that I am actually going to this program that for quite a while I truly doubted I would not even have a chance of being accepted in to. I keep wondering if maybe they sent this acception letter to the wrong person. Overall, I'm really excited for this new adventure away from home. I've never officially gone some where completely alone, like a sleepaway camp or something among those lines, so it's a mixture of excitment and nervousness. I cant wait to meet new people, and make some great friendships. I'm so excited for the classes, and the amazing opportunities. I cant wait for the delicious food that I keep hearing about. It sounds so exciting to me. I'm afraid that when I get there, though, that I'm going to become very reserved, and possibly have anxiety about the new environment. I'm just planning on keeping my head up, and really enjoying and being greatful for the opportunities I have been given. I'm lucky to be able to stay in contact with some of my best friends though while I'm gone. It's always nice to hear their voices, and I'm so thankful to have them. I love that I can be really weird around them, but that I can, also, come to them when I need a shoulder to cry on. So, I guess I wont be completely disconnected from the rest of the world. That's kind of nice to know that, and that gives a little comfort. Wow, it's less than two weeks away. I better start enjoying my summer now before I'm back to pumping my brain with knowlege. Luckily, it's stuff I really am interested in, and care about.
