I was just thinking about my trip and realized something that I have never really paid much attention to before: Anticipation can really ruin things. Tomorrow I am joining my fellow Czechpeditioners (I'm crediting my group leader for that gem!) at dinner for a meet and greet sort of thing. Normally at this point I am worrying, wondering who I will become close to, how good of an impression I will make on everyone else, and just hoping that I will get along well with everyone. It's not that I have trouble with people, I just think too much about how things are going to be. Anyway, I was thinking about dinner tomorrow and realized that my over-thinking doesn't matter. The more I anticipate, the more I worry. The more I worry, the more likely it is that my nerves will show. All of these people have said how excited they are to go and for all of us to meet that it makes me so glad to be going with them. I know now that that is all that matters. When you have expectations, things tend to not go so wells. I am doing something that I have been dreaming of and all I need to do is enjoy it!
Of course, the dinner already happened and it was great! Everyone is counting down the days until we leave and starting to make plans for our Spring Break trips around Europe (I say that like it's no big deal). I can't wait to meet up with everyone again this Friday!!
40 days and counting...
