Letzte Woche!

Around Thursday, the anxiety and anticipation of everything that lies ahead will really kick in. This is a completely normal reaction of the body, and I want to treat it as such. Otherwise, my emotions would be on a rollercoaster ride. Which would make for a pretty exhausting flight for me and my seat neighbours. This is something I want to avoid as much as possible, and I even hope to be able to take a short nap. Even though I have never been calm enough to sleep on a long-haul flight before. 

I am already looking forward to the moment when I realise: there is no turning back now. I have never been in a situation where I had to do something decisive before I had at least arrived at the arrivals hall. This time is different because I am being issued with a work permit. And I will have questions swirling around in my head more than once about whether I have everything with me and whether everything I have with me is correct. Because it is a very important question whether I get it or not. I am confident that everything will be fine, but this question will cause a very strong feeling of unease to spread and make me feel insecure. 

How did you feel last week, just before a long trip? Let me know in the comments!
