Getting Close

   Hello again! Only 13 days until I leave on my trip and I'm getting super excited! It just hit me the other day that in exactly two weeks I'll be leaving Oregon and wont be coming back for six months! This realization has brought with it other realizations as well. For instance the fact that I haven't made any preparations since receiving my French Visa about a month ago. Yikes! So now I'm (frantically) making lists of what I need to get done before I leave (what to pack and so forth)! Not to mention Christmas! Oh I can't wait for Christmas; but since I'm leaving three days after I need to get most of my To Do's done before then, not only am I shopping for little last minute things I'll need while I'm away (cloths and silly things like hair ties, since I wont be able to use Jessica's anymore!!) but I also need to get the rest of my Christmas shopping done! :) So thats what I'll be up to this week, meanwhile every day brings me closer and closer to the reality of my departure, I'm ecstatic! On a sadder note I've also realized how homesick I'm gonna be (for a while at least). So I have decided after a long and painful debate with myself and certain friends that I'm getting a Facebook. I have avoided it for so long just because it has never been necessary for me, but now I think it's time. So now I will be able to keep up with whats going on here while I'm away, to put it simply you won Facebook Congrats... Ok I can only talk a bout me for so long, I hope to post exciting stuff in the near future! Until then, Adieu. :)
