11 days.

11 more days until I leave for Xalapa. I am extremely nervous and so excited. It's hard to know what to do with yourself when you know you are leaving everything behind for 4 months. I am trying my best to prepare but I think I am putting myself into more of a mess.
Last night I made 4 different lists.
1. Phone numbers that I might need while I am there.
2. Things that I can't forget, that I commonly do forget.
3. An inventory of what I have purchased to take. (6 different bottles of hand sanitizer included)
4. Things I need to take care of before I leave. (paying off things..ordering..tying loose ends)
5. And a day by day plan of to-dos until i leave.
Now it is Friday and I have the whole day off. I am sitting here trying to think of more things that I can do. I will probably find myself watching episode after episode of Law and Order (my favorite past-time since January 1st).

I am stressing out about my host family too. I finally got the nerve to call them and they didn't answer 2 times in a row... They are all I think about and I don't know anything but their address.!

The party is a week from tomorrow. I am excited about that! It will be nice to see all of my friends together before I leave. The butternuts say that have it in for me. I will probably pee myself.. but what else are surprises for?

Matty and i are going out tonight. His brother and sister-in-law got us an American Express gift card for Christmas, so we are going to use it for a nice night out, just the two of us, before I go. No extra money will be spent, which is what I am excited about!

Time to complete the Friday list!
Adios.
