Cold feet

Friday, 1 Sep 2006 | Leaving the Netherlands

The last couple of days, basically since I stopped working, I’ve noticed a change in how I feel about this trip. I guess the change is a result of me having my head cleared of all things to do with work and my departure being the main focus of my day now. But yeah, it happened, despite the extra socks and what not, I got cold feet!

I’ve been having thoughts along the lines of “what the hell are you doing”, “how on earth can you leave given”, “you’ve prepared next to nothing, despite what everyone says”, “what are you going to do with yourself”, “it’s not THAT special over there” …. classic case of cold feet, eh?

I don’t think you can really prepare for this or do anything about it. It’s just a matter of sitting out the doubt. But I’ve known this was going to happen to me for quite a while now. So it was no surprise. And I’ll be fine, I’m sure.
