It's my last day here in California. I've been here for a week and I can't believe it's already time to leave. I have had the chance to say goodbye to some of my closest friends. Sadly I did not get the chance to say goodbye to everyone, but it sure has been a busy week for me- getting documents filled out, packing, saying goodbye, going to the A's game with church and visiting museums and whatnot.
Packing actually went a lot smoother than I thought it would go. Everything fits into my one (rather large) suitcase. I really tried to not over pack- I'm bringing 1/3 of the stuff I brought to camp, and I hope I have about the same amount of luggage as everyone else. I did, however, bring something that is totally not necessary at all, which would be my brand new laptop and Ipod speakers. And no, I did not have room for The Settlers of Catan, but if I have Catan withdrawals I'll have mom ship it to me! And anyway, I brought a really cool card game I learned at camp that will keep me and many others entertained for a long while :)
I will be waking up at 3:30 AM tomorrow to drive to the Oakland Airport for my 6:00 AM flight. I can't wait to meet all these cool people that I will be serving with, but it is rather unfortunate that I will be one of the last people arriving to Vicksburg (and probably one of the earliest to leave!)
Here is my address if you would like to send me a letter (and care packages are always appreciated too!)
