silly sounding

In less than thirty days I will embark on a post-graduation journey. As much as I look forward to it, I am equally nervous and scared. However, I do enjoy the not-entirely-comfortable with the situation feel and the can-I-really-do-it thoughts that linger after each wash of excitement. I've flown by myself before, and I've exited an airport by myself. I have never not been met by someone waiting for me. I have never gone to a place where I can't speak or understand the language without someone who is adept. But, I have never wanted to, and this time I want it. I may be way out of my element but I think as challenging it will be, it will also be a lot of fun and a needed growing experience. I'm staying in hostels (the best in each city so it's not really backpacker status) where I'll hopefully meet some fellow travelers. I really can't wait. I love that my parents are really cool about it. Yes I am spending their money but they nurture and fully support my curiosity and desire to see the world. After all they are partially responsible for making me the way I am! I love them so, so much for it. I don't know if I can, or will, be as cool.
