The Beginning of the End...of my temporary leave from Charlotte.

Passport (with ugly picture) - check!

Visa - waiting for approval 

Packing - In progress denial

As of right now, I have less than a month before I find myself on my own in Europe. Particularly in the sister city of Charlotte - Limoges!

Lately I've been stressed out about everything. The boyfriend just left for his semester abroad in Gaborone, Botswana right after we moved out of our apartment... and my job as a Conference Assistant lasts until the end of this week, so I have to stay in Charlotte with ALL of my CRAP until the end of the week. Then I have to stuff (and I do mean stuff) my car and drive five hours to stay with the parents until it is time to go. 

Eep.

Here is what I still need to figure out:

• Medication (allergies, etc.)
• What to pack?!
• Currency exchange/ continue researching different banks
• Making copies of EVERYTHING
• Figuring out what those dorm forms are saying..as far as I know, I could be giving away my first born for a room in the building I don't even want!
• Transportation from Paris to Limoges.
• What the HECK do I pack?!
• Buying adaptors/ universal surge protector

Now that I've stayed up way past my bedtime (I'm such an old lady), it's time to hit the sack and get ready for my second-to-last day of work.. yay.

P.S.
Do you have any advice about studying abroad for a year?
