So as departure day grows forever closer and closer, it leads me to thinking about every possible scenario and problem I could occur while on my exchange in DK. I find myself going to bed every night in complete distress over whether i've made the right decision, waking up in the middle of the night after having a terrifying dream about being at school and not understanding a thing and not being able to communicate with anyone (which alas could become a reality considering I have no idea where to start with my learning danish). I find that i'll be sitting at school, in a class like Art History or Sculpture, and while everybody else is working i'm thinking about leaving all my friends behind and succumbing to the pressures of being responsible and organised (both of which i'm not).
While I am thinking of all of these underlying problems, I really do know that i've done the right thing, I don't know how but I do. I think while i'm away, everything I choose to do, all of my actions, everything I take part in and commit myself to will result in the overall effect of my year. Life is definitely too short to get to Denmark, and let my year slip away, especially when i think about how much it means to me, and how hard i've worked to get there.
As the glorious Bob Dylan said, "All I can do is be me, whoever that is".
And that is what I will be.
First post. Going to Denmark in 136 days :} :} :}
I can't wait til i actually find out who i'm staying with, and where in Denmark i'll be staying.
