what is happening
in less than six hours i will be on my way to DC!! my car is ready to explode with objects that i know i will feel stupid for taking later (for example: the 3456 pairs of shoes that are nestled under eight jackets that look oddly the same and box of ribbon that i was going to leave behind but just had this FEELING that it would come in handy at some point and so i should leave nick's winter coat behind in order to fit all 34 bolts of ribbon safely inside.*
speaking of the nick, HE'S COMING BACK FROM FRANCE RIGHT NOW!!! which is probably why i'm up (actually i KNOW that is why i'm up seeing as how i was dead asleep until he called me at 5am to let me know that he actually got a flight out of paris and might actually beat me to dc!!
add in the fact that one of my best friends from bg, cheryl, is living in alexandria and i really can't discribe how happy and excited i am to start out this new phase of my life (which- when i publish my personal memoire, "Tales from a Poor, Little, Italian Girl," will be the chapter entitled: "My Search to Find Work, Happiness, and an Engagement Ring from Stephen Colbert").
though i will say that it was very, VERY hard to say good bye to my grandma- she just took such excellent care of me this summer and really made me feel like i had a HOME (which is something that i haven't felt in over a year) and how much i'm going to miss working at CPT and the amazing kids that i was lucky enough to spend my summer getting to know.
well my alarm clock just went off that means it is officially 6:45 and late enough for me to start moving around the house without worrying waking up my dad and the boys.
wish me luck!!!
*DISCLAIMER: i didn't really decide to leave nick's coat at home to fit in a box of ribbon- i was packing up all of his stuff from his closet and just completely forgot to bring it (although when his mom called and was like, "you didn't pack nick any heavy coats," i DID debate over whether to go back to cortland and get it or just pack ANOTHER one of mine and try to convince him that it was actually his... just kidding.......kind of.
