Mmmmm CHILI!
Yep. Last day at work. Pretty anti-climatic at this point, not like I expected anything. I mean it's really no big deal. I'm going away for four months, but when I come back everything will be how it always was--it's not like it's the end of an era (in fact, if the full-time staff changes by even one person I will be surprised). That realization, coupled with the fact that I'm not super emotional anyway, makes some of these goodbyes akward. People are all, "Awwww you're leeeaving!" and I pretty much just respond, "Yeahhh... but I'll be back." I think they want more out of me, but they just aren't going to get it. I've learned how to respond to the "Are you excited?" question pretty well, seeing as how I actually AM pretty excited, but when people ask me "Are you nervous?" I basically have no good answer. I say no, because I'm not nervous at this point, but that makes me sound like such a hard ass. I will get nervous and apprehensive in the near future, just not yet.
My clothes are basically all packed. That was actually a bit stressful when I noticed the alarming rate at which my suitcases were filling up. I found a good way of coping, however, in which I would just stop and say "fuuuuuuuuck!", then I'd collect myself and keep at it. It only took me about an hour on Sunday, once I had washed everything. I still need to pack my toiletries (I'm going to buy most when I get there), hair dryer/hair stuff, jewelry, make-up, camera stuff, nanny stuff, compy stuff, and a few books. That'll make it a tough squeeze I think. I am DEFINITELY going to be shipping a box of stuff back home in July when I leave Chile. I don't even want to think about how much more stuff I'm going to acquire during the semester. Yiiiiiikes.
Tonight Jeremy and I are going out to Will's apartment for dinner. That should be fun. It's big pressure for Will because it's going to be one of my last meals here so it'd better be good. Yesterday's Buddy's outing with the CHS girls got postponed to Wednesday due to CHS having a power outage and there being no practice (lame). That actually turned out fine, though, because my Mom and I were able to go to P.F. Chang's for dinner. I was supposed to have dinner with my Dad on Wednesday, but he and I will just raincheck that for when we are at the airport together on Thursday. Mmmmmm airport food...
