D-D-D-DONE!!!







Well, that's it! Today was great. Tristan's mom, Jessica, made me a beautiful cake. It's pretty much me in a cake. Literally. HAHA...funny. Well, today Jacob wasn't there because he is deathly ill, but he asked my to stop by tomorrow to say good-bye. He was a good mentor. He really cared about seeing me become a well-rounded individual. And apparently I have good work ethic. Anyways I'm really going to miss him, and all his...antics. What am I saying, I'll miss everybody. Claudia, Jessica, Gary, Web, Michelle...EVERYBODY. I certainly learned about libraries, and I definitely want to be a librarian someday. Not in Leesburg though. I need big cities. I mean, there's nothing alternative or even anything that's interesting to me. Sorry Lesburg, you took very good care of me.
It seems like these eight weeks have gone very fast and extremely slow at the same time. I don't know what that means, but it blows my mind.
I didn't realize how hard it would be to be away from home for eight weeks. I will have to get used to it though. I think it was mostly hard because I didn't have any people close to my age to hang out with. I had to tell the teenagers at LPL that I was 20 going on 21 to get them to listen to me. And I probably should have told them I was only 17 before I left. Oh well, maybe I'll Facebook them. Maybe not.
I've been packing for a few days now, and I think my bag will be JUST under 50 pounds. I think the count right now is 44. But I don't have that much more stuff to go in it. I stress the word "stuff".
Apparently my mom can't pick me up at the airport, so my grandma is doing it. She's like "Call me when you get off the plane because something might come up." I'm like, "What could come up, Gigi? Do you have a drug deal about to happen?" [Am I allowed to say that?] She says she doesn't. She deathly afraid of flying and she hasn't been to the airport for ten years. I just told her to follow the signs. Duh.
I lost 15 pounds while I was here. That's pretty darn good. I wish it was more, but hey...
I made Jessica, Claudia, and Jacob pictures with cutouts from my magazines. They all had "This person is you because...". I'll take pictures of them.
Yeah, about that. I left my camera at LPL, so now I REALLY have to go back. So, tomorrow, I'll be updating to my Facebook and blog. I really am sad to go; I've had a great time. Atlanta will be very different. Not in a bad way, though. I just don't like driving stick shifts up hills. *Shivers in fear*.
Well, I'll update one more time tomorrow, and hey, maybe on the plane as well. Probably not. The wireless is expensive.

  1. Cool cake, it's so you! Was it yummy as well? Are you still doing the gluten free thing? I hope your bag has wheels on it if it's just under 50 pounds. Congratulations on losing weight.

    It sounds like you had a great time and learned a lot about what you want to do and about yourself. What surprised you the most? Take more pictures and looking forward to the next post!

  2. If I were to make you a cake, that's what it would look like. But it would be a vegan cake.

    I've been meaning to ask: why the title Punk Toast and Tea?

    When do I get to see you? You just missed Maria, who left this morning. I'm so glad to have you back, even for a short time before you're off again!
