Have you ever moved internationally for a year? People make it look so easy.
I have failed to realize the amount of work that goes into packing up all that you own into one suitcase and bidding adieu to home. I also failed to think of how emotionally draining it is as well. Saying goodbye to friends and family are no easy task. And the thing is, I'm really not going to be gone that long! Not even a whole year. I get all teary-eyed whenever this scenario plays out...and it happens a lot:
Non-descript friend: "Ohmygawd! I can't wait to move in with you other Non-descript friend!"
Non-descript friend 2: "Me neither! Ohmygawd Sarah! You should in with us, we would...be...aw. Nevermind. You are going to Lithuania."
Me: :(
Up and down. All in the same day I could be peeing my pants in excitement at a sculpture I am really going to see and then five minutes later I am getting a call from the cranky Consulate dragon telling me to stay the eff away from Lithuania (you stinky fat American was probably thrown in there too).
I just have to smile in the end, as I stumble through it all. Hopefully it all works out in the end. There really needs to be an International Travel for Dumbies out there. Kthxbai
