. . . and there is definitely no turning back now. Somehow I already feel homesick-if that makes any sense. I am in Columbia right now, nearly two hours away from my family and it has only been six hours and I already miss them terribly. I am still in Missouri, I haven't left yet, but I want to see them so badly! Wow, is this a bad indicator of how my semester is going to be? I am not at home, because I will be hitching a ride from Columbia to the airport. My father has to teach a class and I can guarantee my mother would be too much of an emotional mess to make it back to Lebanon safely, so this is how it goes!
One thing on my mind is that tomorrow is a Monday... this is usually the day where my week starts off sour, I have some huge crisis occur and it somehow becomes resolved by Thursday-ish, so I am concerned about what could possibly go wrong this week. I know that I must sound so pessimistic, but I am normally in good spirits, I just vent about the things that bother me.
New Goal: sound more positive!
The whole reality that I am actually going to be in France (and for 6 months) has not sunken in yet. I am a bit weirded out by this. I keep asking myself what is the normal feeling of someone who is studying abroad. I guess I couldn't really categorize everyone who is studying abroad as a whole.
Other thoughts....Ok this one is completely irrelevant to the topic at hand. I got a haircut (wow thats random right?). I can't really decide if I like it or not. I wanted to grow my hair out, Curtis somehow mixed up "I want to keep my length" with "chop off my hair," so now I have necklength hair again. Its nice, just not what I wanted.... but I guess I can't really say that because I didn't really want anything. I am ok with it, i just don't love it. Perhaps if I knew how to do it.
I guess those are the most recent random thoughts before I depart.
