Busy Bee

I had a conversation with a few people at work today asking me if I have anxiety about travelling alone to India. My answer was no, should I? I've aways been someone who thinks about the task at hand, and tires to live in the moment, mostly because everything I do usually takes all of my concentration and energy.

Right now, my task at hand is IPP reports, IPP meetings, and class trips (I am lucky enough to get to go on most class trips because I have students in every grade.) And of course, organizing, packing, and shopping for my trip. The beauty of this is that I will mostly not think about such things as safety, missing my family, and the reality that I will be away from home for almost five weeks in a country where I am seeming to have a hard time understanding their accent when they speak English, as well as the culture shock of the poverty until at least July, maybe not even until I land in India.

This trip has been a dream of mine for decades, and the thought that I will be going on it in less than a month blows my mind:)
