T-minus 11 days.

I have just finished the list-making phase, and have now entered a state of constantly spending money. I may have underestimated how much stuff going abroad requires. My departure date came up very suddenly. Yesterday, I was in school and I was 2 months away from leaving. I practically woke up today and realized I had less than 2 weeks. So now I'm getting phones, credit cards, luggage locks, hostel reservations, power converters, plug adapters, wool socks, backpacks, train tickets, and the list goes on and on for a couple pages. Also applying for as many internships for next summer as possible before leaving the country. Its a good thing I have no major plans until I leave. I don't think I have fully realized that I am going to actually be. there. so soon. I can't believe I am actually going. I got the address of my apartment in Vienna. The only word in the street name that I could understand was "links" which means left. Its a half hour walk from the IES center where my classes will be and its not far from the Danube. However, even stalking my address on google maps does make it feel real.
