INFLUX OF NERVES

Source: tumblr

Preparing for a trip is hard work, especially when I've got exams looming in the background (and the fact that I've basically procrastinated all semester round). With exactly a week to my flight to Poland, I'm both super excited and super nervous. I have been having random dreams and nightmares about travelling (like exploring amazing new places... and somehow losing my luggage. All the typical stuff). I've also started to truly to comprehend the enormity of my impulsive decisions - like 3 months?! How am I going to survive being away from my family (and my dogs) for that long? Oh well. Life goes on. Skype. *This is called ignoring my problems and having them come bite me in the ass later, aka. being positive*

I've been talking to some of the other interns about travel plans after the project and whatnot, but I'm staying open so I can decide when I'm in Poland. I might also consider getting a pass so I can have some added flexibility of travelling to wherever, but knowing there is a fixed cost/sunk cost. I hate waiting and checking up on flights etc. so it's probably easier to get some pass and just go.

On a side note, I really need to start writing my essay so I can get it out of the way and start preparing for the stuff I haven't already. My to-do list is getting way out of hand. And I'm hungry, so... I will end up eating, watching some show and not start till another 1.5 - 2 hours. Great. It's really demotivating. Why do exams and assessments have to have such a crippling effect on me?
