The word is out...

This week has been a little hectic in trying to figure out all that i need to get done in order to leave. I have only apx 90 days till i leave and there is a lot to be done! (more then i realized) There is a lot to do still as i have only just started filling out the school application. I am planning on getting everything turned in by the end of this week. Hopefully it won't take too long to get the acceptance letter and then i can forward it onto the embassy to get started on my student visa. These two things are the only hang ups. (besides the outragous price in airline tickets)

Each day i get more and more excited! It's hard to focus at work as i am always thinking about things that i need to do. Such as, cancel gym membership, cancel netflicks, cancel cable, cancel internet, take care insurance down to minimum, move out of apartment, store things i want to keep, sell things that i would rather have money for then keep, plan for all the holidays that i will miss and get cards made for everyone's birthdays that will happen while i am gone, etc....

I am dreading telling my grandpa the most. I love him so much and i highly doubt that he will make it the whole year that i am gone. I don't want to leave him. His health is failing and if he does pass away, coming home would not be an option as tickets are just too much. hhmm....sad.
I will miss him calling me "bluebird" or "slug-bait" depending on the day and his mood. I will miss him talking trash while we play a game of Rummy in his room. I will miss him giving me $20 everytime i see him cause he thinks it takes a whole tank of gas to come see him and he just wants to help out. I will miss him leaving me messages on my voicemail not realizing that it IS voicemail and then getting mad that i'm not responding. I will miss him....
