And so it begins...

so i find myself lying on my bed amidst papers, forms, clothes, shoes, etc. that are all somehow supposed to fit into 2 duffel bags and my backpack. there's no way that's going to happen. and of course i'm still putting off packing. i've gathered

everything, it just needs to be sorted and packed. but tomorrow is THE LAST DAY of packing and being home before i leave for san diego and eventually ensenada, mexico.

maybe if i take a quick nap i can pack after. i'm exhausted from getting up so early today. i got up at 830 and drove to mattapan to go to the mattahunt school. i talked to mrs. ashley's class about my trip. i showed all the kids on a map where i was going and roughly what i will be doing. that actually made me even more excited about my trip. i've posted 2 of the pictures from this morning of the kids at mattahunt.

i'm getting nervous about going. but the nervousness has really turned into excited energy. not that i'm feeling that energy part right now. it's more laziness right now. well, i should go pack and figure out if i can hook this blog up to my phone to keep it updated while i'm away. the map at the top highlights the ports we will be docking (is that the proper ship language?) at throughout the semester.
