I am so paranoid about today and all the luggage I have and getting to the airport and just everything associated with that. I think I have to ship a small box of stuff home. Just a pair of shoes, a handbag, some candy, yarn and some clothes. I'm gonna try and get up pretty early and do that. And mail some postcards. Compared to how much I accumulate in 3 months at camp, I think 2 bags of luggage is pretty impressive. I'll probably have to pay the £20 for overweight suitcases. I'll live. I'm hoping I'll make it back to Jersey in one piece. Like 8 other people I know are on my flight which is kind of nice. 3 of my flatmates left last night to go to Vienna, so it's been pretty quiet today. I cooked a 4 course meal last night at 10pm for about 10 people in the hopes of using up a lot of the food I had left. It went over pretty well.
I really don't feel ready to leave yet, but I'm still excited to see people at home. It's an odd feeling. It's just going to be weird not coming back here anymore, cause this little flat is a nice little home, with our kind of special christmas tree and all the measuring cups and food scale I'll have to leave behind. Maybe I'll sneak the measuring cups into the box that's going home.
And I barely missed a tornado today. I almost went grocery shopping this morning in the middle of the tornado path. Good thing I procrastinated. And who said procrastination was a bad thing... But yeah, there was a tornado in Brent where I go grocery shopping. 6 people were injured, and it ripped off the top of a few houses, but it could have been a whole lot worse. It only hailed around here though. And huge thunder this morning.
But that's all for now I think...
