Back at the end of July I turned in my two weeks notice for my job at The Children's Place. After working for them for over a year it was so surreal to quit (and I must say, quite empowering too). I was so grateful to be able to work and support myself, so it felt a little crazy to give up a job at the beginning of August when I wouldn't be leaving for my new job till the end of September. But I knew I needed the time to prep for my trip and to enjoy my last few weeks in the states.
It's so strange to think that I am giving my two weeks notice in a sense to America. I have enjoyed my time, but I'm off to bigger and better things (a.k.a. Euroooope!). Of course I will be back, so it's more like temporary leave or something, but you get the picture.
You are probably asking how the procrastination coming along? Well I am doing fabulous in some ways, and not so great in others.
On the bright side, I am almost done packing up all the stuff I won't be taking with me to Germany. I just have to sort through and pack up my clothes now. Then I can move on to the task of packing what I am actually taking into my suitcases. Which is going to be quite the effort since I am an over packer extraordinaire.
On the doom side, I have so much left to do. My grandma's well intentioned nagging is only adding to my stress. Because, oh so typical, she is right. She knows time is of the essence and I'm kinda just frolicking about/running around screaming. The things on the "nag list" definitely have to be dealt with pronto. Then I can get onto other random things on my to do list.
What's on the "nag list" you ask? Well 1. my car getting stored 2. calling my mother and getting my stuff that's still at her house 3. dealing with my ticket (apparently cops don't appreciate California rolls...). All of these involve talking on the phone, thus why I haven't jumped up and down with excitement at the thought of dealing with these three things. But they must get done! And they will.
So things are on their way forward. I have no doubt I will be ready come the 29th. It just may be that I am ready literally 5 seconds before we drive to LAX. But ready is ready. Right?
