a look at emotions

I am getting ready to leave for my summer internship in Texas, and I have so many emotions. I am very excited, yet nervous. I have never really been outside of my comfort zone, my home, let alone by myself. I am excited to explore new things, and to be on my own. I am trying to make lists of things that I need to pack, because I am scared that I will forget something important. As I am finishing things, like my research paper, I am feeling very overwhelmed and exhausted. Not only am I going to school, but I am also working full time. This is causing me to go to bed late and get up early in the morning. I am glad school is almost over, because I don't know how much more I can take of this schedule. It has been a long time since I did a research paper, and I have forgotten how much time it takes! I am also trying to spend as much time with my family and friends as I can before I go. I will be gone for over three months, and that is the longest that I have ever been away from them. I will be sad that I wont be able to see them, but I know we will still have communication. Thank heavens for cell phones and the internet. I know that this experience will benefit me in so many ways. It will help me broaden my horizons, and give me courage to be out on my own. It will also help me to strengthen my people skills and salesmanship skills. sometimes I have a hard time getting what I want to say across to other people. I always second guess myself. I could really use some sales skills so I can sell myself to others. This was also my first semester back to school, I cant believe how great it was. I never felt threatened or left behind. Now that the semester is ending I feel like I am closing the door to this experience, and opening another one for this summer.
