The Date Approaches

As of now there are 8 days until I depart from SeaTac airport for a 10 hour flight to Amsterdam where I will then take another short flight to København. The packing begins, as does the slow yet steady realization that I will be living in another wonderful country for about a year. Unfortunately this means i'm also losing quite a bit of sleep in nervous and excited anticipation. Before I know it i'll be losing my mind on the flight there and before I know that i'll be sitting in a new home and experiencing the full brutal force of culture shock. I can hardly wait!
