Serious question. When was the last time you did something for the first time?
My Answer: Yesterday I bought a new type of meat from Trader Joe's that I've never tried before. And earlier this week I went to the restaurant Japonessa for the first time...
I guess I was originally thinking of something a bit more trivial than that, but the idea is still the same. Have you tried anything new recently? I've found myself in a comfortable routine since I've graduated from UW, but that's all about to change in, oh, about 3 or so days. I'm going to fly to South America for the first time, hear the indigenous language, Guaraní, spoken for the first time, eat who knows what, and meet who knows who for the very first time.
Now, when was the the last time that you did something for the LAST time?
My Answer: This is the one that, for me, is much more difficult to do. Knowing that this will be the last time I get to see my friends and my family, play with my dog, and sleep in my own bed for the last time (in 27 months) is not quite as easy to prepare for.
So this is where my head as been. Between packing and panicking, flipping from jumping with excitement to yelling in my head "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU GETTING YOURSELF INTO?!?!", I've come to realize that the extreme emotions come from realizing I get to start doing things for the first time, but I'm also doing lots of things for the last time (in awhile).
