Jerrie's Travels

and in exactly 24 hours i am leaving for my year away. So as you can imagine today has been filled with very high energy and very high stress. And as i said before i did everything i could to avoid packing, but inevitably my mom pulled me up off of the couch and forced me to go through all of my clothes and necessities. Packing for a year away is waaaaaay different from packing for anything else. You have to think of things like. "what if they don't have makeup that matches my skin tone? (we all no that i am a pasty little white blob)" or "how many pairs of underwear do i really need?" finally after an entire day of this fiasco my mom and i have boiled it down to this. Those SUCK VAC things you can buy are the greatest things ever. It was like watching my entire life through clear walls  getting the air sucked right out of it... which is ironic because that is kinda how i feel right now. 

Also today, was filled with goodbyes. It hasn't really hit me that this time tomorrow i wont be here. that i wont wake up and hang out with my brother or talk to my mom. So i have not spent that much time crying and fussing. But today. Today was really hard. its like, You KNOW you are headed out for this amazing adventure. But you are not sure what you are going to be coming back to. Alot of things can change in a year.

Thats all for now. I will let you all know about my flights and stuff after i land.

PS. love you mom<3
