Prepping for Jyard

So, the time is finally arriving. I am now in my last few days at home, packing and preparing for the big move on Saturday. People always ask:

-So, are you excited?

-Oh yes, of course!

But I think really the best way to describe it is this:

-I'm everything!

Does that make sense? Yes, it does. I am about to embark on a new adventure, and new chapter of my life. I'm leaving home, going to live on my own for the first time...yes, in New York City. I honestly have no clue as to what to expect (except for playing my viola, a lot. I've got that one down) So, I'm everything!

I'm excited.

I'm anxious.

I'm happy.

I'm sad.

I'm nervous.

I'm confident.

I'm composed.

I'm frantic.

Need I continue? You get the point.

Actually, while we are on the topic of nervous, I might add that one thing I'm most nervous about are the placement exams. I mean, I know they are not a grade and are just to put you where you need to be, but still! I'm going to be playing the piano in front of somebody for the first time in like 8 years. And the writing exam, on an article about Japanese Aesthetics and an art of my choice that is similar to Japanese ideas. What do I know about Japan? And when was the last time I wrote proper English? Facebook chat and talking to a Russian have definitely taken a hit on my English skills. (<---who knows if any of that English is correct anyway!)

So, I guess I better get off blogger and get to researching, packing and whatever else I need to be doing with my life.

Oh prayer! I need a lot of that. Please and thank you!

Love,

Violamad
