So yesterday my mom and I attempted to take a crack at packing and as you can see this obviously didn't go so well. I think I am only capable of doing things under the stress of last minute. I can't seem to wrap my head around the fact that I am leaving in 1 week. It is so strange. Basically, I have been planning for this day for the past 4 years and it has always been "2 years away","1 year away", "6 months away" etc. and now it is hard to imagine in my head how short 1 week is. I wonder if anyone else is having this problem. Of course I am excited, nervous, and anxious, but I haven't been overly anal about planning every last detail out...which is pretty much the opposite of my personality. But, I have been planning for so long that I think I am just finally sick of planning...I am ready to go with the flow and just let the journey take me where ever it might go. So what if I forget my toothpaste, the world is not going to end. Everything is going to be okay!
Plus, I have been a little distracted this week because tomorrow I get to go home! Well sort of...you see my family just recently moved to a new state to live with my grandmother. 4 months ago we sold our home and 2 months ago we packed everything up and came to our new home or well my grandmother's home. I have been living in this new place all summer away from my University and friends. It was hard to let go of my childhood home, but this has been a blessing in disguise. This separation has gotten me over the homesickness hump and I am now used to not seeing my friends or home. However, it is difficult not being able to see them when I haven't even left the continental United States yet. But, tomorrow I get to see them!!! I get to go to Virginia Beach for 2 days! It is only 2 days, but it will be great! We are going to Busch Gardens tomorrow and then to the Beach in good ol' Va Beach Monday! It is essentially my goodbye party, but I am ready to celebrate!~ And get some closure with my friends and my home town.
Then come Tuesday morning it is all eyes on Japan! No more procrastinating...I hope! And that bag will become more organized and packed up tight! I might even study some Japanese this week, which I have been meaning to do all summer u_u but who am I kidding? I knew that wasn't going to happ
en! :P
Oh and P.S. we all got our speaking partners a few weeks ago! Mine is a girl named Sayumi! She is basically my Japanese twin! We have almost identical interests and we are both tall! Imagine that, a Japanese girl the same height as me! It was meant to be!

I so know how you feel about packing. I actually have been trying to pack for the past two week but I keep checking back and seeing what I am missing and I always find something that I missed. Im better at last minute stuff. Well hopefully you'll be able to get the stuff you need packed. If you need some advise or help, I'll be making a new post soon about packing and what not, but you'll have to find it in the post cuz it'll be a pretty long one XD
Good luck packing and have fun at your party =D
