I'm leaving. so soon.

Well, it's coming down to the wire now. Less than ONE WEEK before I leave! When did this happen?! To say I'm freaking out would be an understatement. I haven't even started to pack! And last week I had to say goodbye to everyone at Wells. It was so hard!  : (

But, here are some good things I've realized lately about leaving:

• it will be summer in New Zealand when I get there
• it will be summer in the states when I get back
• the drinking age is 18 there. the wineries are calling to me!
• I'm turning 21 before I return, which means I'm legal starting next week!
• I'LL BE IN FRICKIN NEW ZEALAND.
• WITH MY FAMILY. FOR 2 WEEKS.

Some bad things I've realized:

• my phone doesn't work outside of the country.
• I won't see any of my friends for 4 1/2 months
• I will be sooo broke afterwards!

I'll still be roaming around Middle Earth though! aahhh!!

My flight leaves from Bangor Saturday morning, and I won't arrive in Wellington until Monday. Be thinking of me while I'm in the air Saturday... and Sunday... and Monday!
