(no subject)
I'm going to good ole MA this weekend. My cousin JoAnna has bought a house in Northborough, a suburb of Boston and I'm going to be helping to paint the ceilings, prime the walls, and watch her cute three-year-old. I'm excited to be getting out of the house to do something. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to go into Boston to see Aleta and have dinner with her. Probably at the Cheesecake factory because it's tradition. MMmmm cheesecake... We'll see. I also need to stop at the STA travel on Newbury Street to get my ISIC (international student id card) because apparently it's very useful abroad. Not too happy about the $22 I have to shell out for it, but if it makes up for its cost then I'll have no problem. The last thing I really have to get is a plug adapter for my computer. I think I can get it at best buy or something.
Went shopping the previous weekend and bought lots of new underwear in hopes that I won't have to do laundry so often while abroad. I have more than enough for two weeks now so I think it's all set haha. I also bought a tote bag to use as my book bag. It's a Le Sportsac bag with lots of big black and tan circles on it. I don't really love the pattern but it was only $15 marked down from $42 and it can fold down really small and is waterproof and it fits my laptop. So it serves its purpose. I also bought a new wallet which matches my winter jacket (a houndstooth I believe...) it's a nice Ralph Lauren wallet that I got for $12 marked down from $45... GREAT DEALS! I needed a wallet because I don't know if anyone knows this but euros, depending on denomination, are totally different dimensions than the dollar. My dad got me 300 euros since the exchange rates were better than usual last week and the 50 euro denomination would never fit in my wallet! I can just imagine what the 200 euro denomination looks like... a sheet of paper probably. I'm almost all done and ready to go and I'm soooo nervous. Ahhhh!!! Sometimes I think I'm just going to freak out and start screaming and stuff but it's all very inward haha.
I've been falling asleep with To Kill a Mocking Bird in my hands. One chapter a night, not because it's not good but because I'm so exhausted whenever I start reading it. And it follows such a random time line and the chapters are short to begin with that I don't think I ever quite remember what I read the night before. Perhaps I'll take it on the plane with me. I'm planning on dramamineing or nyquiling it up on the flight because I want to be passed out for most, if not all, of it.
Ahh... 10 more days. I'm just plain freaking out. When my parents leave early Thursday morning for San Antonio I may just spend the rest of my time in the house having a panic attack. Seeing as I'm going to house sit for 4.5 days and then leave is scary. That's a lot of solitude. I don't know why I'm so nervous. Arg.
