Yesterday was the last day that I will be in Greensboro for a long time. I had such a good time with all of my friends while at the same time trying to finish my work with Dr. Prysby and finalize all of my last minute to do things. A special thanks to Brooke/ Tommy, Brittany, and Jae for letting me spend the night(s) with them while I was in town.
This past week included two great meals (thanks Dez Lambert for one of them) and a trip to Bravo's where I must say that I ate way too much. Saturday was spent sleeping in and then a last trip to Costco and Target (oh how I am going to miss those places and I must say medication is way too expensive.) Since Friday night I have not stopped eating. I ate at Pick n' Pig for the first time last night and I must say it's some of the best BBQ I have ever had. After Church today Mom and Dad took me to Blake's so that I could get my favorite meal (white meat fried chicken, french fries and applesauce). I am really glad that my blood work came back with great results and that I will be on the "UK" diet or I might find myself in a bit of a bind.
Leaving Greensboro was really hard yesterday, knowing that it is going to be a while until I am back with all of my friends. Understanding that the next few weeks will be difficult, I know that this is an opportunity of a lifetime.
This is probably going to be my last post before I arrive in the UK and between now and then there are sure to be more tears. I am going to miss my friends, Jae, my Church family, and my family.

Two weeks left!
On Friday my pounds came in, which is a good thing considering that two weeks from now I will be in the UK. As time gets closer, it's beginning to set in that I will be gone for four and a half months. During this time my younger sister will be turning 18 and my boyfriend will be graduating from college (I am hoping to make it back for graduation!!).
This Monday, Mom and I are going to Greensboro to start and complete my shopping for Europe. I am so much stuff to pack and I really need to get started making a list. Although, I got a great idea today about how to charge my American appliances in the UK. Take a power strip and one converter. It's the best thing since well, sliced bread. I can't take the credit for it though I got the idea from a college's study abroad tips. As next week will be my last week here, I am going to UNC-G to finish my assistantship and hang out will all of my great friends. One thing is for sure, I am going to miss these guys. They are my rock when something goes wrong, esp. at school. On Saturday, I will be returning to spend my last few days in the US with my family.
It's hard to believe that I am this close to leaving, but this is going to be an adventure of a life time and something that I can never replace. I want to think God for such a wonderful support system of family, Jae (my boyfriend) and friends. I could not do this without you guys. I <3 you all!!!
