One Week Until Departure

I have most things taken care of, but I'm still lacking items in need of packing. I'm looking for my ipod cord, a pair of winter boots and a white bra from Victoria's Secret. The new Body by Victoria bras are so comfortable. I have been trying to find a way to discount the bra through buying discounted gift cards or finding online coupon codes. So far no success.

I have one suitcase only half-packed, but I think that it has already exceeded the 50 lb. limit.
I need to weigh it.

I have been experiencing emotions of sadness and depression with my departure date so close. I know that it's natural to experience nervousness, but I think the sadness has been stemming from me thinking that no one will miss me while I'm away. I think my family has been too distant even though I am leaving in a week. My own mother hasn't seen me in person since last week!

I was so happy to have time to spend with those important to me either on the phone, at lunch or at my going away gathering. I have shared laughs and advice with everyone and their motivation has inspired me.

I can't wait to get out of this sauna. Which reminds me, I have to call and confirm my room and arrival arrangement. I sent money, and since then haven't heard from them. Is this how it always is? No response once the money is out?

I still haven't heard let alone received my laptop from Best Buy. Really guys? What's up? The corporation has had it for over a month! I'm leaving in a week! SEND MY COMPUTER HOME!

Well, I think I'm going to call Ireland and find out about the room and then go to sleep. I have to do more packing and hopefully family time tomorrow.
