I'm now able to count the days until I leave on 4 fingers. Its exciting! But I don't feel prepared to go yet! I have yet to test pack and finalize all I'm taking with me. For me, the super-organized-lets-make-a-list-of-what-to-bring kind of person, I probably would have been packed a week ago if I really could. But then again I wouldn't have much to wear. I'm trying my hardest not to overpack!!!! And I only have one bag...so I don't think I will.
Today, however, is my last day of work! I'm really happy about this. Not to say I hate my job but rather that I would prefer to not get up early and work on science everyday..... The lab is going out to lunch for my last day, which is always something I enjoy because we get to go to the Blue Koi which is pretty much amazing. But I'm only working half day because I have to get a physical before I go...lame. oh well. I guess I have to make sure I'm healthy to travel. Ha. I think I'd travel to my semester even if I wasn't healthy. I think death would probably be the only thing keeping me from going. *knock on wood*
The next few days should be interesting. Tomorrow I'm going though all my clothes and figuring out what to bring and what to give to Goodwill. Might as well clean out my room while packing. But I'm also gonna spend some quality time with my folks, go out to eat (I get to decided where!) and have some foods that I won't get for a while. Then Saturday a bunch of my friends are coming over and I get to see them on last time. I'm really excited about this! I mean it is the last time I'll see them for 4 months. It should be a good time, and we get to watch the KU game, and eat Jimmy John's. What could be better? I'm expecting hugs though.
I'm also hoping that Chris and I get to go out for a little bit after everyone leaves on Saturday in the evening. Yesterday he was I guess officially accepted into the Army ROTC. He got all his gear and his hair cut. Its quite short, but I really like it. He looks as handsome as ever! Its kind of weird though because I hadn't really anticipated him being in the army. But its something he wants to do and I'll support him 100%. Our deal is he can't die, so I hope he keeps up his part of the bargain. To be honest I think it'll work out well; his four year commitment after graduation will be as long as my grad school. After that? we'll have to see where it takes us. But in today's world its a guaranteed career track.
Thats pretty much all for now. I'll update again before I leave.
