packing

I haven't even started packing! Apparently this is something that most people who are moving away for a few yeas don't wait till the last minute to do. I'm still working on packing up all my stuff from MSU. I'm getting really excited but these last days with friends and family is getting difficult just ebcause I know I should be packing but I would rather sit and chit chat--- or write in this Blog.... alright I gotta pack! stop distracting me!

CAROL, well you have only been gone for about a day, but it is already too long, i miss you and love you of course. sara and i left you a message on your phone the other day, but i'm not sure if you got it. i hope you have fun in K-stan, i still think its crazy you are gonna be gone for two years, but hopefully me and sara can see you in Greece! it will be another crazy adventure if we do, and it will help me deal with my Carol withdrawls by seeing you halfway through time away in K-stan. well email us when you get a chance so i know you got there safe. i look forward to reading some interesting posts about your experiences!!!
love Rachael

dear carol,
i totally did not get your message until today. and now i feel like a total jerk because you're being shipped off to who-the-hell-knows-where, and now i cannot contact you. a rendez-vous in philly is unlikely, as i am stuck in nyc half-working.
you're going to be awesome though. and i'm going to send you some sort of package as long as i get my act together (don't think i forgot what kind of chocolate and candy you like from our days in uganda). so, i guess this is goodbye. and here's to being a bad friend!
