Last Night Home

This is the last night of being in my own home. Tomorrow I will be getting up around 4:00 AM and leaving for 30th Street Station in Philadelphia to catch a 5:15 train to Boston. The rest of my day will be spent in Scituate, MA with Brooks, Maddie and eventually Grace McNally (the best girlfriend for getting the night off from working at camp to come to dinner and spend the evening with us). This is so surreal! I'm packing everything up to travel to another country for 10 months...or at least trying to pack everything up. Epic fail! I have stared at my suitcase all day and have failed to actually put anything in my suitcase. It's going to be a hectic night haha. I'll get it done though...eventually. Thank god for the long train ride tomorrow. That will allow me to get any of the sleep that I don't get tonight during the ride. On top of all the packing craziness, we also received an email today asking for us to send back our placement tests by tomorrow...the placement tests that we never received. That led to even more confusion and nervousness for about an hour and a half today. After a quick call to the Study Abroad office, our fears were quelled because we were told to simply email Britain Smith and then not worry about. We'll see what happens with that though. There is just so much going on that I can't keep anything straight at the moment. Saying goodbye to friends and family is making things just that much more hectic because I'm trying to see as many people as possible before leaving. Especially Sean Craner who asked for a special shout out in this post. He's sad that I won't be going to work everyday for my dad with him to do the most boring tasks in the world while listening to a senile old plumber and decrepit carpenter banter back and forth in caveman gibberish all day. Oh how I'll miss early mornings when I wake up to that...
