Not like I haven't been ticking the days off in my head. One by one, they go so slowly. Now that I finally have one week remaining -- yes, in exactly a week, I will be in a plane on my way to Argentina. -- it's hard to pull myself out of "oh, I still have plenty of time" mode. Although I have less than a week before biggest trip of my life, I lack a sense of urgency. I have to constantly remind myself that THIS IS HAPPENING SOON. I HAVE TO START MOVING NOW.
Today was my last day of work. At 5:10, I had to log of of everything, turn off my computer, push myself out of the chair, put on my coat, and say goodbye to everyone. I usually prefer to sneak out the front door promptly at 5. Today, I said "goodbye" and "thanks for having me" and "let's keep in touch." I enjoyed working at FITP. It was different from my usual desk job. The work was interesting and the people were friendly. What more could I ask for? (besides a cabinet full of tea, which they had).
I gave myself a week of not working to pack, clean, and sleep before my big trip. I am going to have to stay focused in order to complete everything that MUST get done with the time remaining. I did not do too much during the past month.
So, for the sake of organizing my brain, here is my to-do list for now until Thursday:

So, for the sake of organizing my brain, here is my to-do list for now until Thursday:
- do more research on Buenos Aires/Argentina (country/city history and reading that guidebook)
- laundry - wash everything
- figure out how much of each thing I should pack
- sort my clothes into "take" or "not take"
- pack clothing
- pack other things
- weigh and re-weight suitcase to make sure it is within the weight limit
- finish cleaning my bathroom
- clean my room
- clean out that toaster
- spend time with my parents and my aunt
- make a LinkedIn account
- update my resume (and see if someone from my college's Career Services department can look at it via email)
