So today my travels begin. I travel to the airport this afternoon to pick up a car so I can drive to my sister's graduation in KY. While in KY, I will visit 6 cities in 36 hours for family photos, graduations, and open houses. I have to return the car to Champaign by 5pm on Sunday night. Then I'm off to a graduation party for a dear friend and say adieu to my wonderful grad iteam (which may be dead but lives on in my heart... I'll never let go grads...I'll never let go). Anyways.
It never fails that no matter how much you prepare, the days before you leave are frantic with packing, unpacking to see if you packed the stuff you needed, repacking and forgetting to pack the stuff you needed to pack, and then collapsing onto the neatly packed piles of clothes from pure frustration. Well, I guess I'm being dramatic but these last couple of days are always rather frantic. In between packing things you need to take, you also try to find time to spend with people you have to leave behind. Last night I said goodbye to my home fellowship, which was harder than I thought considering I've only known these people for 4 months. I'm going to miss frisbee in the park and dinners at Ty's house quite a bit. Today I say goodbye to a dear friend and prepare to say goodbye to my family.
A lot of goodbyes but they all lead to some big adventures. Details about my adventures to come in subsequent blogs. Now I need to get to work on research and last minute errands.
