A Beautiful Trip in the Making

As of right now I have 3 days, 17 hours, and 11 minutes until I'm flying out of Dallas and heading overseas. It's beginning to set in that I'm not going to be home for six weeks. It only took me saying bye to my boyfriend, and many other friends before it became real. I can proudly say that I've finally started packing. I knew it was going to be tough packing for six weeks in one suitcase that can only be 24 inches tall and can only way 44 pounds. I just didn't realize it was going to be this tough. OC's International Programs office has been a great help though. They provided us with a book that literally has almost everything we need to know about the trip. Like how many pairs of shoes to bring, pairs of socks, little things we may forget, and even how many pairs of undies to pack. Great huh? It's probably best that they threw that in their though cause I tend to forget things like that. The last few weeks have been nothing but busy. I've been working on three summer classes (two are Europe classes), working, doctors appointments, bank visits, shopping, and trying to remember every little thing I need for this trip. I finally finished my business class today, and now I just have to stay on top of my classes for Europe... Speaking of I should probably start my paper... Anyways, my ears have been stopped up for about a month now. First it was the right one, now it's the left one, and I'm afraid it's becoming both of them. I'm on my second round of antibiotics and still not seeing anything good. So needless to say, that airplane ride and my ears popping may be quite the experience. Just pray that things will get better. :) I think that's all I have for now. I'll be posting pictures and updates about my trip as often as I can. Needless to say I'm super excited for this trip, and I'm really excited about the group I'm going with. I hope you enjoy my blog! I think this will be the easiest way to keep up with everyone since I won't be able to talk/text/skype all the time, so enjoy!

Do you think this is enough stuff/room for six weeks?

T-minus 3 days, 16 hours, and 36 minutes to departure!
