The Countdown - 4 days

Okay so it's Saturday and I'm leaving Wednesday. I finally started getting stuff done today, I got my room cleaned out and I'm working on about 5 loads of laundry right now. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to get all this stuff done, especially since I'm still working a lot, but I really cranked out some cleaning today! I'm proud of myself :-) Now Tuesday I can just concentrate on packing the 5 loads of laundry into 1 suitcase and 1 carry on. I'm not sure how to pack for 4 months! I'm pretty much packing for 3 seasons! Should be interesting...

So I'm having some issues with canceled return flights and student loan crap, but hopefully I'll get all that figured out on Tuesday. I have to run down to W&J and talk to the business office about it. I was really upset about it all yesterday, but at this point there's nothing to do but get it taken care of. And explain it to my dad in detail, cuz he's probably gonna have to do the paperwork and stuff while I'm overseas to get it all fixed up. I hate mix ups...especially when I don't find out about them until 5 days before I leave! Oh well, what can I do?

So tonight I'm gonna go out to South Side for the last time until December! Very sad! I'm gonna miss everyone terribly...I've never been away from my parents for more than 2 weeks...and I'm gonna miss Bobby and my friends so much. 4 months is looking like a lifetime, but I'm sure it'll fly by. It's no secret that I love Europe and traveling...I'm sure I'll find ways to keep myself occupied haha. I've got big plans to see Paris, Amsterdam, and Brussels...maybe London if I have some extra money. And I'm gonna go to Oktoberfest! I mean how COOL is that? This is gonna be the best trip I probably ever take! And jeezoman...I'll probably be speaking Deutsch like a pro when all is said and done...that's the most important thing!

So I guess I'm gonna go and conquer my upstairs closet while I wait for my laundry to dry...next time I blog I will probably be in Prague!
