The Prep and The Feels

Sak Pase = What's up


I am currently awaiting that wonderful and nerve-wracking day next week that I will be leaving the country for school.

My last day at work last Thursday was bittersweet. I was happy because I was quitting to move on to the next step in my life. I was also happy because I realized how many people truly believed in me at that office. The encouraging words I received were so wonderful.

I thought that I would be relaxing and sleeping my days away until my time of departure, but today is actually the first day, since Sunday, that I've had time to relax. I've been shopping for clothes, shoes, and other necessities since Monday. I've also been packing and freaking out about packing because I realized that American Airlines is only allowing me to carry two checked bags to St Maarten. I had no space for everything I need to go with me to the Island. So yesterday, I called Tropical Shipping and the wonderful lady there gave me the idea to go purchase those huge storage bins with lids from Target, fill them up with stuff, tape them shut and then ship them through their company. I ended up shipping two bins. It only cost me $55 without the insurance on them. The insurance is optional. Not a bad deal at all.

I received my email address from AUC and the first thing I did was take a screenshot and send it to some of my friends with the caption "this is really happening, make it stop." THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING. I also received an email about the details of the White Coat Ceremony, the time and where we'll be eating afterwards.

I think I'm all set for this journey. I got everything that I think I'll need. Only thing left to do is to finish packing. My laptop is about to die and I'm too lazy to go get the charger (It's raining outside) so I'll just end the post here.
