Countdown

I am in countdown mode, and it feels funny. With only a matter of weeks until I move out of state, my to-do list is constantly growing. It's hard being at work because all I can think of is stuff I need to get done to be ready to move. My heart is not there. I'm still excited, but sometimes this excitement turns into a little bit of apprehension as I think of all the things I need to do and buy. The apartment complex I'm moving into gave me a little scare by telling me that they made a mistake and don't have a one bedroom apartment available after all. Unfortunately, this means I have to pay a lot more for a two bedroom two bath. Apartments are in such high demand and low supply in Oxford that I couldn't really haggle much. Other than that, everything is coming along fine. I had no idea how much stuff there is to buy for your own place!! It's endless and very expensive. One reason I am loving this whole moving thing right now is because everyone is so extra nice to me! haha I keep telling them that they're only pretending that they're going to miss me but are going to have a secret party when I go! :) I will truly miss all of the wonderful people in my life here. Why is it that you only fully realize how good you have it when you are leaving it behind?
