Leaving Tomorrow~

The time has officially come, I leave tomorrow morning for Cairo! I am almost all packed, I just hope that my suitcases are in the right weight area. I really don't want to pay 35 dollars for a heavy suitcase, but I am packing for five months of living people! It is a challenge, let me tell you! Hopefully I will have some uneventful and easy travels. I will be spending roughly 21 hours (when the time change is not counted) in the air and in different airports, awaiting my flights. I leave here at 10:40 AM on August 1st and arrive in Cairo at 2:15 PM August 2nd. WOW! All I can say do is thank the creators of iPod and mass publishers, for I will be listening to a lot of music and devouring books. I will keep you posted when I finally arrive! I cannot believe it is so close, the summer seem to have flown by! Cannot wait to actually get to Egypt!

8 Days and counting...

I leave in 8 whole days! One would think this is when I would be relaxed, packed and ready to go. Obviously, they have never met me! I have more dirty laundry than clean, which isn't that overwhelming seeing as how I have strategically placed said laundry in multiple places throughout my house! HAHA! (read: parents house) My teaching clothes are also in multiple locations, leaving me to guess about whether I have the necessary amount of fitting professional garb or not. However, having just quit my job yesterday.. peace out Applebees! I feel that I have all the time in the world, which is bad, (read: very, very bad) as it only aids my procrastination. I sense a bitter cycle, yes? Hopefully I can pull myself together and act like an adult for at least one week in my life and get things done. Don't hold your breath!!

Cairo I go?

So it's a mere 21 days until my departure and I am mere moments away from probable melt down. I have tickets.. ish. One of the segments of my flight TO Cairo is still waitlisted. NOT COOL. I realize that 21 days seems like a massive amount of time to remedy this, but it still makes me a tad bit uncomfortable. I am behind on things to get done and am now kicking myself for wasting my summer with work and laziness. It is amazing what a time crunch will do to your motivation, however. I have already crossed 3 things off my intimidating typed to do list- thank you Da! The rest of the list, not soo scary, just fairly massive and that is frightening in and of itself. However, in spite of my overwhelming under acommplishedness, I am super excited to get there! 21 days seems both daunting in its closeness and how far away it is! I want it to be here now! I want to get there tomorrow! Lets just hope that I accomplish more in the days to come.
