is this really happening?

It usually takes awhile for the events (or forthcoming events) in my life to hit me. This one is no different. Up until these past few days, I really haven't been thinking about going away that much. Now I'm starting to feel a little nervous though. I mean, what will it be like to be around all of these strangers for the first few days? I don't adapt to new settings very well (you could consider me to be the antithesis of a chameleon in that sense). When it actually comes, I'm sure that I will be surprised. I'm trying not to form too many expectations in my mind, but it's hard since I am a mere mortal being. At the same time, my mind doesn't seem to be taking me too many places though, regarding BC, so I guess I will just wait and see.
