ONE MORE WEEK!
Have you ever had one of those days where you put the phrase, "woah, this could be the last time I ever..." in front of every sentence? Let's just say that for me, that's how my week is going. For example:
Me: *watching tv with my brother*
Eddie (my brother): *silence*
Me: THIS COULD BE THE LAST TIME WE EVER WATCH TV TOGETHER UNTIL I LEAVE FOR ITALY!
Eddie: What the hell...?
or...
Me: *at a supermarket with my mom*
Mom: Honey, what should we buy for dinner?
Me: OH MY GOD, THIS COULD BE THE LAST TIME YOU ASK ME TH-...
etc, etc.
I guess it just finally dawned on me that Italy is coming fast, as in 'less-than-a-week-and-I'm-beginning-to-freak-out' speedy freakin' gonzalez fast. With the ridiculous amount of packing, the constant reminder from phone-calling relatives living near and far and asking how nervous I am, and just... everything, I'm starting to get overwhelmed! And what's freaking me out the most is the fact that this is my last week, and I'm so busy that I barely have time to just sit and relax with my family! Luckily, tomorrow is my last day of work, and the weekend, plus labor day, will be the sweet, 'last bon voyage' family time that I need so desperately. I've really been taking for granted all of my 17 years with parents that have done everything for me in the past. Now that I'll be without them for a year, I'm slowly, but surely, beginning to realize just how much they do for me on a daily basis. Haha, so when you read this, mom and dad, just wanted to let you know I appreciate you guys so much! And of course, I'll miss you! And as for you Eddie, well, you know you'll miss me, even if you refuse to admit it!
Hmm. In other news, I got my visa! And I didn't have to go to LA to get it, either! To make a ridiculously long story short: they recently appointed a 'Consulate General' in Arizona, aka, a man from Arizona is eligible to sign visa paperwork in the same manner that the LA consulate would. So yay, people like Giselle and I (you can check her blog out on the right sidebar) from Arizona don't have to travel all the way to California to sign two documents that would take five seconds to do! It's fantastic.
I'm trying to think of what else to say.
Ow, my brother just punched me in the arm.
Crap, I need to pack.
Geez, I'm really leaving in six days.
