The Count Down Begins!

I LEAVE FOR MICHIGAN IN 10 DAYS!!!

I honestly cannot believe how fast the time has gone! I am so excited to get there and start developoing relationships with the students and with those whom I will be living/working with. I am incredibly nervous though!

I thought you would enjoy this! The following detail the top 10 thoughts running rapidly through "The Mind of Megan" as I prepare to head off "into the great wide open" as my friend Tom Petty would say.

1. "Man I really need to order those 8 books for Prime.....I've never read 8 books in 7 months in my life!"

2. "I wonder if it would be weird if I brought a coffee pot to Prime....I really will need one and Abi won't be around for me to use hers...."

3. "Its ridiculous that I need a GPS to find my way from my new home to the church"

4. "I hope there's a bank near me or else I'm in big trouble"

5. "Pack up to go home, unpack to put stuff away, pack back up to go to Michigan, unpack again...I should just live out of a suitcase"

6. "I'm not a fan of being lonely....nor am I fan of being alone....I will HAVE to make friends ASAP !"

7. "I cannot forget to write PRIME goals for my advisor! I have to start out on a good note!!"

8. "I wonder if Lake Michigan is close to me....good thing I'll have a GPS"

9. "If I got lost and went too far north I could end up in Canada.....another reason for the GPS"

10. "I hate saying goodbyes. I dont wanna leave my HU friends or my family....I will probably cry when I have to...and I hate to cry....bah this is not ok!"

So...there you have it. The top thoughts running through my mind as I prepare to leave the comfort known as HU and enter the great unknown.

Enjoy.

  4. While not as mushy-gushy as the girls... I'll speak to #9. Don't worry about that, the boarder patrol will stop you before you actually enter, search you for drugs, maybe find some... maybe not, check your pass port then detain you for 8-10 months.

    So I'd not really worry about #9... it just can't happen all by itself.
