6 Days to Go

My distant optimism, as I had been experiencing for a few weeks, was replaced late last week with  a genuine excitement as I realised I had just a matter of days left until departure. Not Months, not Weeks, but Days... I had my first sleepless night in living memory due to this excitement. However, I do have a few hints of apprehension, particularly in my packing ability. 

I have this irrational fear that I will forget vital items, such as a jacket or phone charger. I'm sure that a number of other emotions will enter my head over the next 6 days before my departure but, for now, I'm content with the euphoric excitement of the imminent departure.
