Almost Ready!

My bag is packed, flight is confirmed, and i just sent emails to confirm all the hotel bookings. Almost ready!

Every time leaving my Champaign home for longer trips, i feel nervous. Nervous that something will go wrong... so I always unplug all the home appliances, pay all the bills, check all the windows. Sounds like Monk.

But this time is a bit strang. It is the first time I feel that i will come back different. I am going on a trip to Europe. Then I will go to Hong Kong to help in my sisters' wedding preparations. Also, my family (including mom, sisters & their boyfriends) will have our first-ever family camp. Who knows how these experiences will work on me?

At this end, the world is changing too. Some friends are leaving. I may not see them again. Two friends will be married when i see them again. Church situation might have changed, or not.

Maybe these are something really get to my sentiments. Or maybe it is just spillover (or mis-attribution) of the normal pre-trip anxiety. I don't know. I just know that it is time to sleep. Hopefully I will have enough strength to survive the long trip ahead.
