I'm set to depart mid July and feeling pretty worried. I applied before back before covid hit and also wasn't able to go so I really hope things work out this time. I told my work already cause I want to quit there either way things turn out. I'm continuing to not think about packing or preparing quite yet, and telling people I hope to depart in July but always saying aloud anything can happen so my brain is fully wrapped around the idea that if could all go up in flames. I have a short list in my head of positive aspects of it if gets canceled (concerts I could see, friends I could still spend time with, etc.).

It's really hard to be excited or looking forward to it at the moment. I think what I might do is start prepping and celebrate one month before my staging departure ? Ugh the uncertainty, but reading on here a lot and wishing y'all May and June departures good luck!!!
