The extent of my packing so far at 9:08pm the night before I leave
How does one prepare for something as new and as unknown as this? Honestly, I have no idea how prepared (or more likely unprepared) I am. The practical stuff is easy-- throw all of my clothes in a bag late the night before I leave, make a blog, eat my last bacon cheeseburger, etc. It's the emotional and spiritual preparation that's the unknown. The last week has been focused on graduation and goodbyes-- many goodbyes are for life which is a very overwhelming to think about. Many times I caught myself improperly saying "bye, see ya later," then having to double back and go "wait, will I?" This is certainly the biggest transition of my life and I am emotionally and socially drained. I am so freakin' sick and tired of goodbyes-- goodbyes to close friends, family, Dr. Pepper, etc. I just hope I am ready for a whole lot of hellos. Perhaps a hello to becoming a new man.
