general banter ...

Ok, so ive just spent at least 3 hours in my room .. well, whats left of my room anyway... packing up things, weighing suitcases, unpacking them, repacking, reweighing, unpacking ..... - you get the gist of things! ive ended up with three piles:- 1) To take to yaeli's lovely comfortable chilled out apartment 2) Hand luggage still to pack because the bag im going to use is occupied by 3) third round of things to ship!!!!!!!

infact, the man in the post office remembered me today from my first batch of shipping only a few days ago and gave me and yael a decent discount... we werent complaining and sealed up our boxes and sent them home :)

Ive finally recovered from a sudden fixation i developed on friday night - when me and yael were eating dinner in the hotel next the the apartments - with an old man who was eating by himself. He was just so loney looking and kept just staring down at his plate and sighed every so often ..... i wanted to go over and join him but yael was totally against that plan ..... i still dont see why!!?

Spoke to my dad today and got really excited - my summer plans are working out really well - looks like im going to spend 7days with my great-uncle in florida (who has a pool :) ), 7 days in NJ with my friend, 4 days in philadelphia with my other friend and finish of with a nice ending staying with my great-aunt and uncle in toronto!! ... total amount of time away: roughly 5 weeks ... VERY excited!!

Whats really wierd though is that ive reached the one week countdown till i come home.
1 week.
7days.
168hours.

i guess its the length of time of a winter holiday but it just seems so unreal that im actually leaving here.
I am ready though - im looking forward to seeing people and going places and DRIVING MYYY car!!!!!! but am going to be sad to leave..........

anyway - ive gotta go upstairs now to my echoey bare room and chill out with yaeli and hannah (who is leaving tomorrow) ...
