    One month and two days!!!!

    I am 1 month and 2 days away from the biggest trip of my life! I received my train tickets that will take me from Paris to SJPP and it's feeling a bit more real. I don't usually get anxious until a few days before I leave for a trip. It still doesn't seem real despite all the plans I'm...
