Today is the day I fly from the U.S. to Belfast, Northern Ireland. It’s strange because the days leading up to today I have been asked if I was nercous or excited and all I could say was that I felt nothing.
And it was true. I have been pretty chill this entire time, but I knew that eventually, it would hit me. I am leaving for 5 months to study in an entirely different country. Now I can feel the excitement and nervousness creep up on me. I’ve weighed and re-weighed by suitcase, measured and re-measured my carry-on and personal items, and I’ve tried to plan out my every move in both airports .
It’s kind of like going off to college 1st year. It’s a slow burn that I’m guessing won’t be fully realized until I’m on the airplane sailing through the sky.
The next time I post, I’ll be in Northern Ireland.

I’m excited for you. My child is off on one of I hope—many adventures in life. Have a safe trip. Study hard and have fun.🌺
