i'm leaving on a jet plane

(Okay so technically a plane and not a jet but the sentiment remains the same.)

My flight to the Netherlands is 10 days away and while I have started to pack, I am also a chronic over-packer so this will prove difficult!!

PACKING IS HARD.

 Things to Accomplish:
- MUST. CONSOLIDATE. WARDROBE.
- DO. NOT. NEED. EVERYTHING. IN. CLOSET.
- ONLY. PICK. FAVOURITE. SWEATERS. NOT. ALL. OF. THEM. (this will be the hardest part).
- YOU. ONLY. NEED. A. FEW. PAIRS. OF. SHOES.
- SAME. GOES. WITH. COATS.
- VERSATILITY. IS. KEY.
I gotta pack for three seasons though! When I arrive it'll be winter and then I have to be able to transition from winter to spring (easy enough) to SUMMER. It won't get extremely hot there, but I do have to be prepared. If worst comes to worst, I can just buy what I need there but because of who I am as a person, I would like to be as prepared as I can be. AND TO ADD SALT TO THE WOUND, my favourite pair of boots just got wrecked. Prayin' I can get them fixed but if not... ugh.

So far, I have managed to fit in quite a bit of clothing...but I also haven't packed the items of clothing I'm still wearing PLUS toiletries and such (travel-size only though! I'm going to buy full sized things once I get there to save space).

brb just gonna lie in the middle of my room among my clothes while listening to music and dying inside

Okay, I'm back.

I got this.

10 DAYS!!!!!!

okay bye

road trips

 The windows rolled down, homemade CDs playing old tunes, cramped backseats, a trunk full of luggage and snacks, and of course, lots of bickering.

sleep, pretty darling, do not cry

It's been over a week since I've arrived in the Netherlands and it's been a couple days since my parents and I parted ways: them back home to Canada and me back to my residence in Maastricht. It's strange to be away from home. Throughout the week I had my parents by my side to help navigate through the towns and through living abroad. Now that they're a 9-hour flight plus a 2.5-hour train ride away, it's suddenly hit me that I now have to navigate this alone. Although there's a huge international student population here in the city (meaning I'm probably not the only kid who's homesick after a week), it feels like everyone I've met is eager and excited to be here. Meanwhile, my brain is trying to convince me that coming here was all one big mistake. I know that in a few days -- or weeks --  I'll start to adjust to life on my own, but right now, it seems like an impossible task. Even though my parents have said that if I wanted to come home...
