i have exactly one week left in LA before i head out …. stopping on the east coast for a week and then heading for points much warmer. i looked over the list i made of things to get done and realized that in true to my ADD nature, i haven’t completed a single one but have managed to do parts of most of them. hopefully i’ll be able to focus more on it this week … if not, i guess it really doesn’t matter … i’m going to be on a plane heading east (and then further east) regardless of the status of my list.

i do think that i’m feeling less and less anxious as my departure date gets closer. my friend vincent (who is finishing up a three month stint in mysore right now) has been a HUGE help (thanks girl!), answering my countless questions and telling me that it’s pretty normal to freak out a bit.

hmmm, maybe later i’ll try wrtiting down everything i’m anxious about …. seeing it all in front of me might help me to realize that most of it is trivial. the biggest thing tho probably is missing Tee (my partner) … we’ve been apart for a week or two before but this is the first time that we’ll be apart for three months. after being together for 4.5 years tho, i guess 3 months really isn’t all that much time ….
