2 Weeks To Go!

Holy Crap! In two weeks I will be boarding my flight with Dad and Bobbi-Lee (we just discovered last night that we are on the same flight!) to Halifax by way of Toronto. I am kind of glad we are going through Toronto rather then anywhere in NYC. It really hasn't been a good year for planes and the Hudson.

I have also tried to start packing. After countless trips to Wal-Mart and TJMaxx, I think I finally have enough "dry-drip, lightweight" clothing for washing in the sink and all the medications I could want. With the exception of my always needed Tylenol Allergy Sinus. When I tried to stock up they wouldn't let me buy it because I forgot my ID in the car and I really didn't feel like going out and getting it. Clearly, she didn't believe me when I told her I was 22....whoops! She also didn't seem to believe my reasoning for buying 4 boxes of it. I guess she figured I had something to do with meth - yep totally true. Oh well I will just have to get it later with proper id....so dumb.

WKU held a meeting for all of us going on SAS. Carley and one other person couldn't me there. So 6 of us and our parents met in Grise to discuss this coming semester. I feel like we are all going to be poster children for WKU Study Abroad, which isn't a bad thing. But WKU's study abroad programs kind of suck and they are no help when it comes to classes and info. The real only saving grace of the office is Judy Scott. She is absolutely wonderful! But they are trying to revamp everything. After media release forms we collected and head shots and video were taken, we were finally allowed to get down to business. Prof. Strenecky was there and I am super pumped about his class. It sounds amazing! But then they had this really creepy doctor speak from Health Services and really wasn't that helpful. But then again I had already sat through speech at both the Vanderbilt Travel Clinic and Dr. Mallard's office.

Overall, the meeting I didn't find was really that helpful, but it was nice to meet all the other people from WKU going. Aforementioned Bobbi-Lee is a Chi O at WKU and lives in Portland. So thats exciting. We discovered last night that we are on the same flight. While her and Carley are staying in a different hotel, we are pretty close by.

I also talked to Charis and come to find out we don't have to stay on the ship on the night on the 27th, but we do have to be at work at 8 the next morning to help check everybody in. We also have to work the parents reception thing the night of the 27th in addition to training all day on the 27th. It will be fun to finally meet other people! It is crazy to think that all of this is only 2 weeks away! EEEKKK!
