One last time

As I was packing tonight (no, I don’t do last minute packing…okay, so I live by it), I realized that this is the last time that I’ll be home until Graduation in May. Now, I’m not a homebody (see me running off to England and threatening to stay there indefinitely last year), but it’s kind of weird when I think about it that way. The next time that I’m home, I will have a diploma from Holy Cross, my thesis will be finished, I’ll hopefully know where I’m going for graduate school, and there won’t be any of this snow on the ground.

So here I am packing up (yes, it’s nearly midnight…have to get back in the groove for the semester sometime, right?) to go back to Holy Cross for the last semester. Weird, right? It doesn’t seem so long ago that I was a freshman and had no idea what to pack for my first Worcester winter. So, here’s to one last semester on the Hill. Now that I’m done waxing nostalgic, I have a suitcase to pack and an application to finish!

2 Days and Counting…

Last night, I couldn’t fall asleep. In order to cure my insomnia, I began thinking of what I need to pack for my year abroad (trust me, it helps). I then started thinking, “Well, I’m sleeping in my own bed for tonight, Sunday night, Monday night…and…oh, wait. That’s it.” Yes, it has finally dawned upon me that I’m leaving the country in TWO DAYS. I’m beginning to think that I’m crazy for doing this in the first place. Packing up at the end of last semester was difficult enough. Condensing everything that I need until the end of June (well, it might be August, but that’s for another post) into two suitcases, a backpack, and a laptop bag is extremely difficult. And I’m not just talking about clothes. My list of books to pack is way too high at the moment.

Tomorrow is, by far, going to be one of the busiest days of my life. I’m getting my braces off (YAY!), running to the bank, packing, doing about a million things on the computer, running here and there, and trying not to forget stuff. I really cannot believe that I’m leaving in two days. It seems so unreal!
