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!!!
