mmm, nerves are kicking in

Up until this point, I honestly wasn't nervous at all about leaving. A school year is so flipping fast, I figured, "Meh, I'll see you around." I'm pretty nonchalant about sensitive subjects, a bit to a fault.

I'll be leaving in about a week and a half. Now, I'm chronically anxious. I go throughout the day where my heart suddenly skips a beat, about ever hour on the hour.

I suppose I'm getting nervous about leaving because I've been enjoying the recent company I've had. This summer has been laid back as all hell, with friends who have really become part of my family. I guess I'm just going to really miss them. But seriously, a year is so fast. I'll come back and y'all will be saying, "What? That's it? You're back already??" Unless I don't come back to the States. I have yet to buy my return ticket. I kid. I do need to buy my return ticket though.

So... My medical forms are cleared, I'll be picking up my visa next week, and my bags will be packed the day before I leave. I hate packing. I seriously detest it. We'll see how it goes.

Cheesy blog name, I know...

Lokamotion was a nickname that I've acquired in elementary school because of my first initial and last name. What can I say, it was the 80's and Kylie was singing that song. I chose it, though, because I hope that's what my daily life would be like when I'm in Spain. In constant motion. So, there is a slice of hope hidden in that dumb name of mine, and I hope you all will enjoy my itsy bitsy thoughts that I will record here.

I have a little less than a month until I leave for Madrid. I shall post again once the date gets closer.

CIAO!
