5 Days

Well, its Sunday and I leave on Friday so. Its getting pretty hard because I've had to say goodbye to a ton of people today. On Friday we start driving to California for a week of orientation (on our way there we're taking a ten day vacation while driving there). This week I'm saying goodbye to everyone. Then I'm off. Well too much to do! Like packing for an entire year. Everone knows what an average fourteen year old packs for a week, but I'm off to pack for a whole year... in two suite casses. Parts of me wants to stay at home in Minnesota and drag the whole five days out, but other parts of me justs wants to go. All the stuff that you have to do before hand is amazing. Expecially if your traveling with a family of five! I can't even imagine what my parents are fealing right now. I have two younger sister, that I'm traveling with, Janine (age 12) and Julia (age 9), plus my parents, Jim and JoAnne. I also have two older brothers, but they are both old and have their own families so they won't be coming with us. I really love the internet because it is a way for me to keep in contact with all of my family and friends back home. Well today is packing day, so I better go!
