I am getting a little nervous to be going now. I am quite excited but I still feel just a little in the dark about what I am getting myself into. I am really trying to get things done so I am prepared to leave, but I continue to find myself procrastinating! I just enjoy spending time with people more than cleaning and packing. Is that so wrong?
On the subject of having a tattoo in the PC--- I am supposed to cover up my tattoo while I am working. My tattoo on my forearm means that I will be having to wear a long sleeve blazer in 90 degree heat. Woooo. We shall see how that goes! I'm not sure what perspectives the locals will have of me with a tattoo so I am going to cover it for awhile.
Eeek.... Yay....

Emily's Quote
A friend of mine that is now in Cambodia for the Peace Corps has this quotation on her blogspot. I cannot help but to post it on my own as I prepare to leave. It is absolutely the truth. So thank you Emily!

Getting ready for a change of life...
So I am sitting here with my computer on my comfortable couch thinking about how life is going to change in a matter of 12 short days. For one, I know that I am not going to be sitting on this couch as of tomorrow night (Jay and I are going to make a run to Goodwill with the kindness of Tony and his truck). I'm hoping that I will have computer access on a somewhat common basis, but there is no way of really knowing until I get there! Life is going to be much different, but I am surely up for it.
I just found out on facebook that I will not be the only one on the plane to Maimi from Seattle for the PC. There is a guy named Desmund that will be with me. Let's hope we can get along for 8 hours! :)
I know I should be working on packing up the apartment and my bags but everytime I get home I just want to procrastinate! What is it about getting the most work done while under pressure with me? I did the same thing during schooling, and for some reason I always did better under these circumstances. I went to the store today and got some of the essentials that I hadn't bought yet. Wow, essentials can be expensive! I am wondering how it is I am going to fit all of my stuff into two bags equalling 80 lbs. Let's call it a magic act for now. Being a blind female can be quite costly to the weight restrictions I am noticing. The amount of contact stuff and feminine products are really starting to look like I can do without. (Ya ya I know that's impossible).
Little things are what are on my mind. I have just been trying to focus and yet, I just feel like I have a major case od ADHD. So much stuff to do and so little time! And what's worse is I ran out of coffee this morning so now I am stuck at home at 11 o'clock at night with no motivation... Ha and to think this life is going to be a piece of cake compared to the one I am getting myself into in a matter of a week and a half! Stay tuned...
