I leave next Monday. That means tomorrow is my last Monday here for a long while. It's getting real now. Last night my family gave me a going away party. It was originally the "Fry-dango" but since I'm leaving it was a joint effort. My tia Linda and cousin Alex made me cupcakes decorated with sprinkles the colors of the Irish flag. I guess Alex went through and picked out the white orange and green ones. Linda made me a beautiful Lapis and Iolite necklace/bracelet. I really love it. A few of my other cousins danced a weird Irish/not actually Irish jig thing around the fire for me. That was pretty hilarious.
It was a really weird night for me actually. Up until then none of it seemed real. It was just an idea and something that would be really awesome that I'll do. I was just disconnected and looking forward to it in a theoretical way. But last night I realized that I was really going. And I just felt really sad for a while. I'm not going to see my family for 9 months. I really doubt that they're going to come and visit me. My grandma hates flying and none of them have passports anyway. They all told me I had to get back on facebook too. I'm going to. I'm kind of dreading it though. It's been nice to not have to see pictures I really don't want to see or read stupid shit that just makes me mad. I guess I can just go through and hide or delete everyone I don't want to hear about anymore. That wouldn't be bad. I'm going to use my other sites a lot more than facebook anyway. So...I guess it's not that big of a deal.
My week is filled up though. Tomorrow I'm going to Seattle with Brian. We're going to get sushi! Tuesday is the great turtle swap of the summer. Wednesday is Emma day. Thursday I'm going to hang out with my cousin Alex. Friday I need to pack and do the last minute shopping with my mom. Actually, by myself. She's going to be working...damn. Saturday is the concert with Adrianna. And Sunday is the last day. I don't know what I'll be doing them. Probably more packing and a little bit of wallowing and not being able to sleep. My stomach is going to be hurting.
