I Miss The Smell of Skunks

Two. And a half. More Weeks. I can do this.

I want to go home...can you tell? Is that terribly awful of me to say? I guess the truth is this: I just want to be through with work, and that's all that I have on my mind right now. So maybe if you ask me when I'm thinking about the fun stuff I have planned, then I won't be as anxious to come home.

At work, I have a final presentation next Wednesday. Geetha wants a rough draft of it done by tomorrow. Bad news. Well, things are going as well as I would like them to be right now. Don't worry, I'm blogging as I'm eating dinner. Plus, my presentation just puts me in a very bitter mood tonight anyway. I can't really explain everything that's gone wrong without explaining my whole summer of work, so all that I can really say is that it's frustrating. The hardest part is that John is pretty much going to have the same presentation as me because we work together, but we have to have very separate and distinct presentation. But we have to prepare our presentations separately. It's just all...blargh! I just want this work week to be over.

THEN IT WILL BE TIME TO GO TO NEW YORK!!!!

And then one more work week. But in the work week my presentation will happen. Which will probably create a whole new roller coaster of emotions that I DON'T want, but I'm sooo ready to have DONE.

And then a free weekend.

And then one last day of work. Which will just be wrapping things up. Totally simple a good. Hopefully?

THEN (basically) a week of vacation for me!! Huzzah! I can finish everything on my Baltimore bucket list! The thing that I am most excited about, by far, is to go to the Maryland Science Center. I'm planning to go alone (which I'm stoked for) so that I can take it all in. It'll be like an art nerd going to an art gallery alone. That way, I can spend all day there if I really want to.

Along with all of my fun my final week, I will also have to finalize everything here in Bmore. I'll have to pack and clean and what not, I'll go to my ward one last time :( and all that sort of stuff.

THEN.... (drum roll please...) I will get to move back home!

I will be able to breathe fresh air for the first time in three months, fall asleep to the sound of crickets, smell a skunk every once in a while, get kisses from my dog, RIDE A BIKE, drive my car (which includes getting around to places in less than an hour), play with my favorite cousins and my darling nephew, have a full and complete wardrobe once again, and most importantly BE WITH MY FAMILY. (and probably many other things I can't even think of right now)

I can't wait for this week to be over. Haha, perhaps I'm just being emo, but I really do want it to be. Hopefully it will rush by fast. Then NYC will be here before I know it :)
