Its all a blurr....

The days are whizzing by. I always thought my life moved pretty quickly as I went from school to work, to meetings, to working out, to see my boyfriend, to going out with friends. But the past week has a much different feel. Even though I feel like I am on vacation (because I'm not going to school, but am working at least 6 days... somehow this is a vacation to my sick mind), the days seem like they will have an inevitable end. And I guess the days are coming to end (at least the ones in Michigan). I am so excited to be leaving but am starting to consider the serious possibility that I may experience some homesickness or perhaps, *gasp*, some sadness. The thought of only having two weeks left before I leave is almost gloomy... but then again maybe because it isn't negative 10 degrees and the snow has actually melted outside. We're suppose to get another storm tomorrow so, I let you know how I feel after that.

I am beginning to wonder what I am really expecting to get out of this trip, and how I will be different once I get back. My prediction is that I will be wierder, if that is possible, once I get back. How can you possible go to so many countries and have so many experiences and not come back a little strange? I have a feeling that my tolerance for handling peoples' egotistical, ethnocentric bull shit will probably be the first to go... but we'll see!

30 Days to Take Off....

Today is Dec. 19 and I will be begining the most amazing journey of my life on Jan 19, 2006... One month from now. I am so f-ing excited!! I do want to explain to everyone the process on how to send me mail and/or packages. It is suggested that you send all leters airmail. If you send a small packages make sure there is nothing very valuable in it... their is no guaranty. I would absolutely love to recieve mail, so if you send me mail I will drop you a postcard. That goes for anybody!

And I am not exactly sure why SAS included the port agents phone and fax numbers but I guess I wouldn't use them unless its an emergency...

Haven't heard any new news from MTV but I guess that is expected. All right keep real. Out.

All Done!!!

Thats it I am done with the semester!! Holla!! Finally, now I can really concentrate on getting my act together and getting to the Bahamas. Latest news: MTV is considering doing a True Life Documentary on some of the students going on SAS. How cool would that be? Someone could share their entire experience with thousands of people around the world. Granted it is highly unlikely that this will happen because of the short notice, but it would be so awesome!! It would make this blog look like nothing... But we will see what happens. I still have to figure out how to upload a picture to my bio section, I tried and I ended up getting the photo below on a regular post... ohh well... I guess you all can enjoy my face from this side of the webpage... Well peace out for now, I am about to do something I haven't done much in the last two weeks...SLEEP!

I am great self photographer!!
