3 days left

Sooo leavin in about 3 days and i'm about half packed...ok just about everything but my cloths are packed... i'm sure i'll forget soooomething! But my jim was very sweet to me today i think he knew i was having a hard day dealing with leaving so he sent me a text tellin me to breath cuz he was thinkin bout me. aaaannnnd then.... he went to hang out with his friend liza and they were talkin bout life and she went to India this past summer and so he called me and put her on the phone to talk to me. previous to this phone call i had been packing and i was shaking and almost in tears... after the phone call i was grateful for a wonderful man, calm and ready to take on the world. I dont know how he does it but he always knows just when i need him and comes through. he met my lovely aunts and new sister-in-law the other night as well as some of my guy friends...he showed up with roses and later told me that they were supposed to be lilies cuz they are my favorite but they didn't have them, i'ma keep him i've decided ;-)
Sooo back to India I feel like there is a never ending list of things that you need to pack and things that you want to bring! I'm really trying to only bring what I need and can't buy in India. We went to walmart to pick up things i still needed and then went bra shopping...always fun ...... NOT! oh well glad to have new bras and everything except my power adapter/converter deal cuuuz i suck at life and forgot to add it to the list. oh well got christmas eve day left to shop...that should be an adventure in itself. Then goin to christmas eve at aunt laura's and jim is coming or meeting us there or something...haven't figured that one out just yet but we will. just got a text and apparently liza is tellin jim tips to pass on to me while they play wii with josh (her boyfriend) and craig (jims best friend). I told him he better remember every word..ha just kidding that would be asking too much of him.
ok that's all gonna go to sleep now i think

Hi people,
2 weeks to go and I'm getting excited and terrified all at once. I still have only cried like 3 times but I'm lettin ya know now i will be a mess the next two weeks and yes you will have just have to deal with it! I know its not like im never seein yall again but dang i'm still gonna go and be with ummm no one i know and the first few weeks are gonna be rrrooouugghhh! there are 6 american students going to India we all meet in NY airport and take the same plane over. (thats what sumana told me, the director of all of us when we get to india) i think it was me and 4 girls and one guy lol he's got a lot of craziness ahead of him :-) We will be living in a hostile of international students, with common bathrooms aka sounds just like u-hall if you know what that is. I will have a roommate which as silly as you all think i am...im stoked about. its hard to live in a room by myself especially since up until 2 years ago i had always had a roommate. i mean sure they drive you nuts but it makes u appreciate your seldom alone time that much more....and sometimes its just nice to know that someone will notice when u aren't there.

I have to figure out what the hell to pack! that is killin me! I gotta figure out this money bit too! i mean they have atms and i can use a credit card and travelers checks...which am i supposed to bring? oye! umm i gotta find me a money pouch thing too so i dont loose anything which i am infamous for! oh and gotta get a converter adaptor thing so i can use my computer and my straightener ahahahahahaha gotta love bein a girl worryin about the essentials becomes a longer list then u expected hahahahaha

i got my visa in and my meds are on their way to my house! oh aaaaannnd i got new glasses!!!!!!!!!!! two new pairs one i love and one i cant decided if i like or not and a new pair of prescription sunglasses which are adddddoooorable!
ok so i am procrastinating by writing this entry, i have to clean my room do a bulletin board and write or edit 3 different papers...preferably by tomorrow night at around 10 or so that way i can enjoy the rest of my week until my final at 3pm on friday! oh and then the fam will all be here for josh's graduation and i will meet kolie my sister-in-law and oh yea i have to work all weekend since im an RA and have to check my goofy residents out. who by the way are still threatening to tie me up and take me home so i can't leave.

One Month To GOOOO!

Hey All,
So tomorrow I will have a new sister-in-law! Josh and Kolie are getting married, she's in the air force and in January she will be stationed in Norway. I'm excited for they and have no idea what to get the :-/ On the India note I have everything turned in and Malaria med's ordered. No I have to figure out what to pack and all that jazz. I cried about leaving for the first time on tuesday night starting at the staff meeting. We had a project our bosses gave us to create a clipboard for a secret person. Jackie (my floor partner and close friend from my freshman year) had me. She handed me my clipboard with pictures of all my friends and pictures of India on it and i just lost it. Later that night I lost it again in jims room and he tried really hard to make me feel better which was wonderful and my stubbornness just wasnt havin it, i just wanted to be miserable for a few hours.

I have less then a month left and it is gonna be a busy one. I have finals in 2 weeks and still have 7 papers left to write eeekk! I only have 2 finals that i have to study for tho so i'm ok with that. the week of finals shouldnt be too bad considering my 2 finals are thursday and friday. the fam is comin down including my dad's side for my brothers graduation on the 19th. I won't get to spend too much time with them since I have to close the building but I hope it wont be too bad...especially since that's when i'll get to meet my new sister-in-law!
