Soon

Its almost happening. In 15 hours, I'll be getting on the plane to Miami. I've said goodbye to my best friends, my neighbors, my boo, my grandparents. Lester and Ma are downstairs watching Blue Crush, but we've been snuggling all evening. I've eaten a lot of excellent blueberry cake (Thanks, Jeana!) and bread pudding (thanks, stale bread!).

My room is cleaner than its been in months, and my mom's room is filled with everything that used to be in my room. A big suitcase, a hiking backpack, and then like 47 mismatched socks and some calamine lotion.

Plan for tomorrow: wake up early, go exercise. Eat breakfast. Return home, frantically pack and clean. Medicate self. Provide Celeste an escape from emotional Dana at a friend's house. Drive to airport. Weep. Check bags. Re-divide access wait in suitcase. Go to Miami. See K people (only Hannah that I'm sure of). Fly to Quito, maybe given dinner. Meet host family. Be non impressive and collapse from exhaustion.

I can't wait! So citin!

  1. Dag, Dita, you summed it up so well. While I am waiting for your first in-country post, I'll go move stuff from my floor into random corners, wondering things like, "Is this skirt/book/tchotchke the precious one to save, or the gnarly one to give to Value Village?"
