The 7-day Status update

Countdown: 7. MORE. DAYS. 1. WEEK. Wow. Like I've said about 56779779484 times, I never thought that in my lifetime I would get this opportunity. Have I started packing yet? Nope. I've got time though, but not as much as I thought.

I'm surprised that I'm still sleeping well, considering I thought the one-week to go itch would start to make my skin crawl with excitement and anticipation. In fact, at this EXACT time next week, I'll be still on a plane almost ready to land in Newark, New Jersey. Or is it New York? Ha! I'm not even really that sure. Although the mysterious sounds of scratching against my walls kept me up at night. My mom suspects a mouse, she'll be setting a trap tonight. I, on the other hand, will be at my best buddy's house spending the night for quite possibly one of our last get-togethers before I take off. She's awesome and I love her as if she were a younger sister, and I'm so thankful we've known each other for so long. (almost SEVEN YEARS!!!!)

On another note, I got my new glasses today! As someone from church back in Berea said, "all the better to see Scotland with!" I was like, yaay!!!! And hopefully I'll get to hear from my lovely sister sometime tonight or tomorrow. She's having a BLAST in England (if you haven't done so already, READ HER BLOG!!) I'm following it, it's titled "Berea Meets Kingston." Also, my 89-year-old Grandpa is here with us at home for a week; he actually leaves the day before I leave. It's been about a year and a half since I last saw him, and some changes have been evident. But my goodness; what in the WORLD do you expect? He's in better shape than I am at 21! But of course my mom is worried, I suppose when my folks get to be that age I will as well. Ok, now that I've wasted more space on the internet with this blog pertaining to absolutely nothing about Scotland,  I suppose I should scoot...Nala the brat dog has made a notion to be infatuated with the hallway, so I'm going to see what she's up to. That's all for now! Cheers!
