(139-141) Today is the Day

Once again i have been horrible about daily posts.
The past few days have been filled with packing and trying not to stress out.
All the stress leaves after today. Tonight i fly to New Zealand where i will be for the next 3 weeks.

Here is a mish mash of photos from the last few days to give you a taste of what i've been up to.



Outfit of the day: Monday


 Walked around long beach with Krissi


 Rolled down the hill at the lighthouse:


That's all im going to say about the last few days.

See you guys in 3 weeks.

(138) checking things off my list

There are 4 days until i leave the country and i am so stressed. 
How do i know this...
...my emotions are all out of wack
...i cant think straight
...my words aren't coming out right
...my to do list is growing

Today I attempted to alleviate some stress.
-slept in til 10:45
-spent time with krissi
...lunch at BJ's
...ran errands (tj max and target)
-continued gathering things on my packing list
-made a phone call to my bank letting them know i was leaving the country so they wouldn't put a hold on my account
-bought tickets for American Idol live tour (in nashville july 30th)
-printed out paperwork for the trip
-spent lots of time on my computer

I crossed 3 things off my to-do list and 4 things off my shopping list. Slowly making progress. Taking things one day at a time...unfortunately i am running out of time.

FYI
Last night i ended up watching several movies, decorating my NZ journal, and gathering stuff to pack.
(i went to sleep at 2am)

Dr. Appt. at health services at school
-She said she couldn't give me any antibiotics...which means i spent $15 to be told to use Sudafed, wash my hands constantly, not touch my face, and to disinfect everything i come into contact with. Thanks Dr. so helpful. I was not happy when i left. I was mainly frustrated that i keep getting sick and that the dr.s can't do anything to help me. I am so tired of being sick and not feeling like myself. And i'm worried about my ears and how they are going to do with flying. (they constantly feel plugged)
Came home and watched TV

Walked to El Burrito and treated my dad and brother to dinner
