I have 3 days to finish all of my assignments (presentation/test) and to pack! Then hopefully I'll feel more relaxed in Madagascar. I'm extremely stressed out and have decided to forgo applying for a studentship PhD program here. :) I think I need a break for a bit before I do this to myself for 3 more years! I think I assumed that getting a masters in primate conservation would be easy, but um...that's not the case. I realized this when last night around midnight I asked my table of friends what day it was. Turns out, we had been in the library not only FRIDAY night, but also Saturday night. We really live it up here! It's definitely not like undergrad.
It has been refreshing being able to skype with all of my friends and family members before leaving for Madagascar. It's also been emotional. I love all of the support, but then it kind of freaks me out when people keep saying how BIG an adventure this is going to be. I have to remind myself, it's only three months and I will most likely LOVE it there! Lol This week has been spent worrying about every possible situation that could arise on my trip to Madagascar and while staying there. On a good night, I sleep about 6 hours. I'm hoping that after I arrive in Antananarivo I'll feel much more at ease. My dad keeps telling me that its going to be a holiday for me because all I'll be doing is laying out in my hammock and counting lemurs. How can I possibly mess that up?? :)
For those of you that are also in the zodiac sign Taurus, you can probably understand where I'm coming from. Usually Taurus folks absolutely hate change. I know that this is true about myself, but after I accomplish something I want to do it again (e.g. travel). Then I get anxious and then I love it and do it again. Then I get anxious and then I love it and do it again and again. I don't think I'll ever be able to adapt to change the way some of my friends can, but I try to not let it stop me from doing things. If all else fails, xanax! Just kidding! But it is a comfortable possibility!!!
