Bittersweet

Excited for new adventures ahead as well as lots of qt with my family and friends in just three weeks but at the same time I'm feeling very blue today. 

Trying to live in 3 continents simutaneously isn't as chique as it sounds...

South America

• packing,
• paperwork,
• spending times with friends at spas, dinners, for birthdays and good food = wonderful
• finally got a hold of the Indian Embassy and will turn in things on Tuesday morning at 11 a.m.
•  4 hour trips to governmental agencies (Monday) and
•  friends leaving for last minute trips makes me feel blue.

North America

• plans with friends - check,
• plans with family - in the works
• online ordering for clothes and tech and books and fun,
• organizing shippers - "Yes, I realize that you can't come and complete a survey because I'm living in South American and yes, I also realize that June is your busiest month but can't a quote be a quote?  Then when you actually pack me then you give me the final price?  I'll make as complete a list as I'm able now..."
• banks and trying to get reimbursed is a pain so I'm
• feeling excited to see everyone but realizing that my time is short, jam-packed six weeks is an understatement.

Asia

• organizing shippers is a pain,
• my school is great about communication in regards to banking and shipping and visas,
• starting to think about my new job is exciting but overwhelming too,
• excited for new friendships but also sad because I'm leaving good friends in Brazil
• wondering why am I going to India since it seems each place I live internationally teaches me new things...Korea - what's important in life (family and friends), Brazil - i've always thought life is a journey not a destination but it's reminded me how i need to be in the journey more, India - ???

So in the midst of all of these feelings, I'm overwhelmed.  3 continents,  22 days till I'm home, 65 days till I leave for India.  Gotta go make my lists before I get more overwhelmed...
