Countdown to a Life Saving Mission

33 hours and counting. I love countdowns. They're so fun. This is the plane that I will be taking to Cape Verde. Yeah, I wish I could take a SR-71 Blackbird to Africa. It'd cut down on the flight time. Tonight I said goodbye for the last time to my adopted family. That was sad. It'll be even more sad when I say goodbye to my real family. :( Oh well. That's the way it is. I already said goodbye to Jessi last night. She left this morning at 4:45 to go to Haiti. Needless to say, I wasn't up saying my goodbyes this morning. I said them last night. By the time I got up, she was alreay in Dallas, getting ready to fly to Miami.

I went to the S-'s tonight to hang out for a while. Talked to one of my best friends and said goodbye and all that. I was really hoping that we'd be able to do that, since we hadn't really gotten a chance to say goodbye yet. Not that I am going to be away for an eternity. Only 2 1/2 weeks. I think it's the fact that we usually talk twice a week on the phone, and we see each other at least once a week.

This trip should be exciting. Especially the 7 some hours that we spend over the water. And the 9 hour layover in Boston. Maybe I can catch a game at Fenway Park while I am there and see the best team (for right now) in baseball play. But the chances of that are second to none.
I finally finished Chemistry today. I got an A in the class. I won't tell you how close I was to a B. We don't like to think about such things. :) Algebra is confusing me for some reason. The book doesn't lay it out very clearly. So I've still got one more test in that, and then I am done.
Okay. It's time to go to bed. I want to sleep in tomorrow, but also have to pack everything. And I haven't eaten yet. :(
