And so the Journey begins...

As I turned back one last time to look at my house, realizing this is the last time I will see it for a very long time, I dealt with a mix of emotions, thoughts, and expectations. For those of you who didn't read my last post, today is the day that I move to Madison, WI for college. I have spent the last week of my life rushing to pack my ludicrous amount of belongs, make final preparations for life in Mad-town, and say my last goodbyes to the friends and family who have shaped my life for the last 18 or so years. All of that packing, hugging, and driving has left me utterly exhausted, to a point that I don't know what to feel anymore. Should I be excited? nervous? anxious? carsick?! It still feels like this whole new world is an indescribable feeling.. (disney ftw!)

I've been going this whole day like it is a complete dream, like I was watching myself hug my last friends goodbye, not really in my body. I wonder if I'll wake up in my dorm, all unpacked, and that feeling of "you are here" will finally set in. As of right now here's the break down of thoughts running through my head. I'm going to try to write these in stream of consciousness, hopefully that will do my overactive brain (and literary training with Mrs. Bledsoe) some justice.

Wow i'm almost there. It seems like just an hour ago I was hugging them goodbye, I can't believe i'm not going to see them for 3 months, This summer is all about over, yet i don't feel like I'm going to school. Shouldn't some cheesy 80's music be motivating me right now to "stay forever young?" MADTOWN HERE I COME! I spent so much of my time making such strong friendships I hope I can keep them. From here, things change. It's a brave new world.

See my problem? Well I'm planning on sleeping off the thoughts, thats what Owl City and 5 hours of driving can do to a guy. Tomorrow I start unpacking my truck-full of stuff. It took a week to pack...How long will it take to unpack? That's a scary thought! Well thanks for reading, check back tomorrow for the epic conclusion to the Move-in Day, and i'll see you around.
