Although my trek is 10 months away, I was extremely lucky with a cheap ticket to Paris. Just looking at the ticket was no big deal. Once I started purchasing and confirming, my heart started racing and I got so nervous and scared! I'm so excited but I still can't believe it! It's always just been a part of my bucket list, you know, just a dream, and now its all becoming real!! Just wanted to share my excitement!!

Exciting! The first step to making a dream a reality has been taken Now, you are committed! The excitement, the joy, the anxiety, will build up as you continue planning; but imagine how well prepared you are going to be! Everything you need to know, you'll learn in this Forum ! Enjoy the ride! At your age instead of a bucket you should reall have a chest! LOL, I do and intend to fulfill as much as I can the rest of my life

Ultreia!

When St James calls you find that extraordinary things begin to happen.

Lucky? Nope.

Blessed for answering the call? Yes.

Be ready because more of this will happen.

Be resolute because stuff that gets in the way happens as well. You just have to work to overcome it and it adds to the life changing experience that is the Camino.

Don't neglect your studies!

To make you even more excited, it is a beautiful day in Burgos today and the food and cafe con leche has been awesome so far.

My feet hit the path in late September. I am having trouble going to sleep at night as I imagine what the path will offer and exact from me. The last time I was this excited/scared was while carrying our first child 31 years ago.

Nope. No neglected studies here! If anything, it makes me want to do even better because if I fail something it will drag my graduation date out! I've really been on top of things. It's actually made me happier just in general too! I was depressed for a while and it's like it just all went away!!

You are not the only one. I just purchased my ticket to Paris and now it seems so very real and close (2 months). And it is very difficult to focus, in fact I am checking the forum in class right now.
