Last Moments with High School Friends


Sadly, all good things come to an end and new ones begin. In other words, my compadres and I must say farewell within the next couple of weeks, as one dear friend of mine heads off to college already. This message is to them, in more ways then one. I'll miss all of you at MHS, even though we've had our ups and our downs, we've endured so much together. Those long nights talking on the phone while desperately trying to finish an essay; the dubbed "Senior" days, where we could goof around and break a couple of school rules, while not pushing our luck; the football games, screaming at the top of our lungs and cheering the Blue Devils on....yep, I'm going to miss it. BUT, we will still stay in contact, joking over the phone or facebook about the craziness surrounding us. All I can say is, I love you guys, keep in touch and, for my sanity, DON'T DO ANYTHING STUPID.

And now, back to prepping for Greece!

Prep Time - 100 Days and Counting!

Nervous yet? I can't say that I am, seeing as I walked across the stage to get my diploma just last Saturday. Still, it's practically like a small bomb went off at our house as soon as school was finally out and all my IB tests were finished. Hallelujah! There's so much to pack and so little time to pack it!

For instance, did you know that Greece does not have pepto-bismol at all? From my research, I also need/have:
  • good walking shoes
  • passport picture (2x2)
  • insurance background check
  • FBI background check (though I'm not a criminal, I must say, the Greeks have the right idea (though they are still horrible bankers))
  • a bank that has branches in Greece
Oh well, that's all for now. I will update again soon - as soon as I get more information through orientation at Ole Miss in a couple of weeks. :)
