Pretty much all my belongings are in a box taped up and ready to be shipped out to Seattle. I guess there is no turning back now. For the next week I have to live out of my suitcase. To say that I am a week away from leaving is crazy to me. I have always thought July 5th was so far away, but it is in a week. I know my parents are excited to get me out of the house.

Well, I don't think they are totally ready yet because all their advice is not boxed up. It is sort of funny how they are trying to cram in as much advice as possible before I leave. I am not the only one transitioning in this process and they want to make sure they do not regret not telling me something. It is like they are trying to cram for some sort of exam; how will their child do in the world. In my experience, cramming is never a good idea. You either know it or you don't. So I guess in a week we will begin to see if I can make it in this big world.
