I just purchased tickets for a Metallica concert in Switzerland. Somehow, that makes this all very real. It will be my second non-US show (saw a show in Canada), and my first European show. Purchasing those tickets was kinda big. I can’t explain why that makes it sink in, but it does.
And while I’m at it, I should mention the questions everyone keeps asking me: are you ready? are you scared? are you excited?
Well, I’m very excited. The new job, the new country, the new experiences are all incredibly exciting, and I can’t wait! I’m definitely not worried about going to Switzerland. I’m not scared, but if I’m nervous about anything, it’s about leaving L.A. behind because I really love this city. I know I’ll love Zurich, but I’ll definitely miss L.A. As for ready, that’s a complicated question. Am I mentally prepared for the transition? Yes. Am I actually all ready? No. I’m slowly wading through forms (insurance forms, customs forms, etc.) and To-Do lists, and trying to organize all of the innumerable things I’d like to get done before I leave. However, I’m on track to get all the things done that I set out to do between mid-January and mid-May. Besides, ready or not, here it comes. 🙂
