Only a week to go...

---

So we'll see how this online journal goes... it's a little different than anything I've done before but hopefully it will help keep friends and family updated. Hopefully I'll get some pictures up pretty quick, too.

There's only a week left before I fly out, and I feel like there should be another month- because I'm not ready! I didn't realize how much there is to take care of, but between foreign currency, student loans and searching for somewhere to live when I come back (!), time is running short! So hopefully all the packing gets done on time along with the numerous other random things I need to accomplish.

It has been terrific to see everyone at school, though, before I leave. I have to say that I will definitely miss UoP more than I thought- campus itself, but also all the people. It's sad that everyone is split up this year, but I guess that's what happens when you start growing up more! It's exciting though to see everyone's new homes and hear about their plans for the year, like the guys in the Pharmacy program, Mel going to South America next semester, Brittany getting married in December, the guys going to London next semester and a bunch of others.

So, here's a starter journal with just a few thoughts before I go. Not really looking forward to missing everyone SO MUCH but maybe this will make it a little easier!

Next update from Paris!
