The stress and fear is building up along with excitement and great anticipation. I am currently moving out of my room which is quite a difficult task when I am not moving to new place but transferring my life temporalily to the far side of the world. What should be saved for later and what is ready to be thrown out (probably after having kept it for too long time anyway, but one does not like throwing memories in the garbage, right?)

The visa for USA is sitting safely in my passport, the ticket has been bought a long time ago and I actually have about three health insurances lined up in case of emergency. So why am I a little anxious? Everything (seems to be) in its right place.

But this is different from anything I have ever done before. Moving more than 10.000 km away and knowing nobody. Nobody at all… Well, the backpacking people will possibly smile and say that this is no problem. But the difference is that I am going to live and have a normal life, study, go out, do sports, ie. everything I do in Denmark right now and not just travel around.

I hope and believe that it will not actually be a problem but the thoughts still wander around in my mind. Everything will change a month from now. If I want it that way, it will be that way. For now, I just need to focus on the mess in my room. Perhaps the stress is only caused by the fact, that I have difficulty coping with this moveout situation. But actually, in the overall picture, I think the excitement outweighs the fear and that is indeed a very good starting point.
