Soon, I'm going on an exchange trip to France. Almost everyone I talk to is asking if I'm excited about the trip, and of course I reply with yes. But this is not the whole truth.
The truth is, that I'm looking forward to the trip with mixed feelings. I can't help think about what could go wrong. I will be spending 6 weeks away from family and friends with people I barely know. I will also have to speak in a foreign language which is tiring at the best of times.
In these circumstances, getting a migraine would be... very inconvenient.
To try and prevent this I have formed a list of things I'm can bring with me that will help prevent or ease a migraine and just in general keep me happier:
- a cute face washer towel with a picture of tweety bird and a lamb on it
It's the perfect size to wrap an icepack in, and why not surround myself with cute things when I'm not feeling well?
- medicine
Self explanatory.
- cute pictures
Every little thing helps to make the day just that bit better.
- a (pretty) written reminder to pace myself
Speaking a foreign language is going to be difficult, so I need to make sure I especially take care of myself (even though I really should be doing this all the time).
- a collection of jokes in large print
The aim of this one is to improve my mood if it starts going bad, although usually when that happens I can't read stuff, large print or no large print, but why not include it just in case?
- stuff with sentimental value, like gifts that were given to me by really good friends
Things like best friends necklaces and handmade gifts- they always seem the most thoughtful.
Hopefully these things will make my holidays the best they can be, and I'll come back from France with many happy memories.
