WoW! 16 more days! I can't believe it. Just a little over 2 weeks left, and I feel like I have to vomit! The closer I get to my date, the more anxious I get.
I have 6 more days here in Kentucky! This final week is filled with mixed emotions. I loved here, but God knows I'm ready to come home. I hope my boss doesn't give me much to do this last week. I really need to finish working on my thesis defense. Hopefully my advisor will let me defend next week before I leave. If not, I'm not too sure I will remember any of it to defend when I get back. I pray!
This past week, I have been trying to log my hours of Spanish training on Rosetta Stone Online. It's crazy. I try, but 40 hrs before I go is kind of hard. I'm getting ready to leave, and I want to spend most of my time with my family and friends. I know I need to practice! I met some Hispanic guys last week who have been helping me. Juan is from Venezuela, Douglas is from Guatemala, and David is from Spain. They all have been helping me with my Spanish. I tell you . . . I feel better about what I do know. I seem to be getting better in my hearing ability. I still have to listen intensely. I need to stop translating when they are speaking to me.
I called myself trying to pack up some of my stuff yesterday for my trip and for my move back to North Carolina. OMG! I really have to gain some discipline. There is no way I can take all this stuff with me. I'm going to have to cut it down to the basics! I packed 42 pairs of underware! How crazy is that?! When I get home and get the rest of the stuff I have to take with me (sleeping bag, sleeping pd, lantern, sheets, pillow, etc.), I don't know if I can trully pack everything. I'm going to have to send a box of stuff over there before I leave: maybe my underware, socks and some t's (They don't weigh as much as the other stuff.).
Geesh! 16 more days. I'm going to go crazy!

You are going overboard with the underwear, but I am sure you are going to have a blast. I can totally relate. My countdown is on day 9 right now and I have the same feelings minus the leaving the country part. But, I did feel like you do when I left for Mexico.
