One week to go!

Well everyone, we are down to one week now. I've decided that it is an acceptable time to start packing, so I have already started going through my winter clothes and picked out what I might want to bring. Although once I can add my clothes that I still wear regularly, I'm sure I will have to take away half of what I have now. Earlier this week I went shopping for all the toiletries I needed, got a flu shot, and got a haircut.

I also finally bought a pair of Tom's. I've been wanting them for a long time, but putting off buying them because I never feel like spending $50. So, of course, I wait until the time that I should be saving money the most. But now I have some nice walking shoes that aren't large touristy tennis shoes.



I also need to start thinking about the actual job part of this year and what sorts of things I'm going to bring for that. I went to Barnes and Noble today to look at some books and I got a book on Thanksgiving, a book on Halloween, and a Mad Libs, but I need to think of what sorts of things I could bring that are specific to me and where I'm from.


I also got a book for traveling in France :) Apparently it was written by Harvard undergrads who were just told to go and travel and then write about everything. Jealous? Yeah, me too. From what I've read so far it seems pretty cool.



Now that my departure date is so soon, I'm also starting to realize all the things that I am going to miss (in no particular order):
  • the rest of Project Runway
  • peanut butter
  • my family
  • my first homecoming as an allum
  • nachos
  • my dogs
  • my friends
  • Pretty Little Liars Halloween special
  • ABC Family's 13 Nights of Halloween (I like Halloween)
  • being able to call my mom whenever I want to
  • being able to say anything I want with ease
  • my roommate's dog having puppies again
  • pumpkin pie
  • Netflix and Hulu
  • plus a lot of other stuff that I can't think of at the moment
So while I am going to miss all of these things terribly, I'm still super excited for everything else that is to come.

Gah, I can't believe I'm leaving in a week!
