Four More Days To Go!

We are so close to leaving, it's slightly scary. However, since my mind has yet to register that I am actually getting on a plane on Saturday, I'd have to peg myself more bored/frazzled than scared. By this point, we've packed three bags full of stuff (much better compared to when my sister was going to NC State -- that packing took up an entire Jeep)! All that's left in that department is double-checking everything already packed and putting together clothing (in my opinion, that's the worst bit to deal with).

I decided to make life easier and take up the newest of my collection of hobbies....cooking. Since the Greeks, from what I've read, don't encourage trans-fat induced food like in America, I *suppose* I will have to make do by shopping at a farmer's market every couple of days. What ever shall I do? ;)

That's all for now - I'll update, perhaps, one more time before leaving to go to Izmir. :) Wish us luck! <3

Less Than Four Weeks To Go!

While the rest of my friends are heading off to school (since most Georgia colleges start in mid-August instead of September), I am staying home prepping for the trip of all trips. There is so much left to do! I finally received my FBI scan back and I am a-okay (because I do not appear in their database). As I'm sure I have previously stated (I cannot stress this enough), make sure to get your paperwork and finger scans to them ASAP if you are going out of the country! It took 11 weeks for mine to come back. Furthermore, if you are getting a Visa, that will take another two or three days so don't wait till the last moment!

In other news, I am proud to say I am the happy recipient of an International Baccalaureate Diploma. Four years of blood, sweat and tears (minus the blood) going through the program and it's finished. I really don't know what to do with myself now that I "have a life". Figures!

Finally, I would like to say congratulations to my friends Cole, Teresa, and Jalen for getting through Jack's Valley in one piece! You guys will go far in life - good job becoming full Cadets at the Academy! And, Erik, haven't heard from you in a while, but cheering you on through your journey at West Point! CONGRATULATIONS!
