wow. i stopped working a month ago and i barely feel ready to leave. my flight leaves at 7am tomorrow.

between all the errands, address changes, getting a business license to rent my apartment in dc, shopping for the trip, discarding many of my material possessions, doctor appointments and vaccinations, tying up loose ends, etc. i haven’t had as much time as i wanted to enjoy dc and see friends and family. …good thing i’ll be back in december!

i actually created a list of things to do, if anyone decides to go on a gap year and would like to see it, let me know.

many thanks to all that helped me get ready for this trip, gave me a place to stay, a hug, message, card, gift, advice or came to see me at a going-away gathering. thanks also to the funkdc crew, the science club and everyone that came out for a great party a couple weeks ago.

i will greatly miss you all!
