Two weeks, ya'll!

Today marks exactly two weeks until my departure! Reality is sinking in, the tears are starting to flow, and my anxiety about packing is at its peak. Mom can't even talk about me leaving without getting teary...how am I supposed to hold myself together with that going on?!! Geesh.

I still have SO much to do and I'm running out of precious time (my procrastination has kicked in). However, in the midst of all this craziness, I can admit that I am ready to go. It's been a long wait since I received my invitation in April. Now that all my friends are back in school, carrying on with their busy schedules (having a life), I've been sitting and waiting, and waiting, and waiting. Don't get me wrong, I am definitely enjoying the relaxation, excessive eating and the time I've been spending with family and friends....but I'm getting antsy people!

Let me tell you, these next few weeks are going to FLY. Here's why:
-Today I'm running a ton of errands (I've been saying that for the past two weeks and am now realizing that I REALLY need to get on it)...but anyways...

-Thursday-Monday (Sept 8-12): I'll take my last visit to Jacksonville to see as many friends as possible and have my "See you later" party

-Monday-Thursday (Sept 12-15) Home

-Friday-Sunday (Sept 16-18) flying to PITTSBURGH for one last family hoorah...CAN'T WAIT!

-Monday-Tuesday (Sept 19-20) Home. Maybe squeeze in a small "See you later" party for family friends etc.

-Wednesday Sept 21 in the wee hours of the morning (6:15 am flight) I'M OUT! I'll be off to Philly for Staging (orientation)

-Thursday Sept 22...OFF TO CAMEROON!

I was typing this out and thought that I had forgot a weekend in there somewhere, but then had this sudden realization that I only have two weekends left...say whaaaat? Plus, somehow during all of this madness I have to pack, which will be an event in itself (I went to NYC for ONE WEEK and almost went over 50 lbs...I have to pack enough stuff to hold me over comfortably for the next 2 years...in 80 lbs..HELLO?!! Talk about sacrifice).

Well...here goes nothin :)
