The Last Supper

Well, it's 12:54 am on Saturday morning. Which means I have about six hours until I wake up to leave Jo and Matt's house. It's been a WONDERFUL two weeks with them. They are the best. Tonight we celebrated our last few hours together by eating my favorite meal: Hamburger, fries and a peanut butter milkshake. Heyyooo. If that's not American, I don't want to be. It was my "last supper" before all my exotic foods. Not really I have like four more days in the states, but this was like a REALLY good fancy burger from their favorite burger joint, Chucks. Anyway, we finished up with watching The Dark Knight Rises to pump me up for the trip...not really, it's just a great movie. This is us during the most important part of the story, Jo's idea to take a pic.

hahaha and this gem is free.

I FINALLY FINISHED PACKING!! It was like torture. How in the world do they expect me to pack for a four month trip in winter and summer weather in one bag under 50 lbs. It's not realistic. But the deed is done, here is my halfway stage.

I head back to school tomorrow to say goodbye to everyone one more time! Pumped and not pumped for that. I am the MOST awkward person when it comes to farewells. And a weeper. Wish me luck. I probably won't sleep tonight because I'm so exciteddddd about the trip! Every time I read through the itinerary I get more stoked. Even the trivial reminder emails about meeting times are like little nuggets of joy. Yup, that's where I'm at.
