My Europe trip last summer was a photofest and now, over a year later, I am still dealing with the aftermath. I think the reason it has been so difficult to complete is because it IS such a big project. Between the two of us we took 5,000 photos, and so even after I'd whittled it down to just the images I really enjoyed, or the ones that were best, it is still two scrapbooks worth of memories that require trimming and mounting, and journalling and stickers, etc. My mom is an excellent scrapbooker, and bought me all sorts of papers and supplies. Without which I doubt I could do anything interesting, but put in to piles next to the printed photos and pages it just appears so daunting. But I've really begun trying to get through it again, and it can be fun (especially with the television facing the kitchen table) and I am determined to finish it before I go to Germany this Fall. I'm going to return with an entirely new project, so it's time to put this one behind me so they don't stack up into a never ending line of "vacation homework."
And about Germany: I am getting so excited! It still doesn't feel official - I don't have a timeline so I can't book flights or rent an apartment - but I have an internship there that I could not be happier about. The job and life experience are going to be epic, a huge chapter for me. I'm looking forward to the challenge.I just need to save a million dollars in order to afford it :)
