Bon Voyage...

| No Comments

So I realized that today is THE DAY when the team heads over the Israel (and how my list of "Things to Check and Recheck Before You Go to Israel" is no longer relevant).  I perused through a few of the blogs and the anticipation, excitement and nerves are evident.  Oh the good ol' days... 

 

At this time last year I was:

            -Rechecking my plane departure time to make sure I didn't miss my connection to Israel like the first year (and arousing great chaos at the House of Neumann)

            -Searching to make sure my boots were indeed IN my bag because I had almost forgotten them in the back of my closet

            -Worrying that my job on site as "Small Finds Coordinator" would ruin any future I had in archaeology

            -Praying that no wars would break out, thereby cutting my time on the dig short

            -Hoping that when I came home again I would have a place to live for the following school year in the scary city of Cincinnati

            -Wondering above all else if the nagging anxiety about graduate school in the fall would ever pass...

 

Considering these worries and anxieties, hopes and prayers, I cannot help but think how "different" this year is.  Currently I am:

            -Rechecking my plane departure time for a weekend in Washington D.C. and hoping to make it to the Louisville airport in time to not stress out the college roomie traveling with me

            -Searching to make sure I have a proper pair of shoes for the trip this weekend so I don't end up in worse shape than when I began

            -Worrying that my lack of progress on my languages this summer will ruin any future I have in history

            -Praying that nobody picks this weekend to launch an attack on our nation's capitol

            -Hoping that when I come back on Monday all my various family members will be healthy and happy when I finally get to go back home to Wisconsin

            -Wondering above all else if the nagging anxiety about graduate school in the fall will ever pass...    

 

Curious.
