For some reason I forgot that we are leaving for the Philippines this summer until about 2 minutes ago! Holy moly! (I can't believe I just used that word!) Anyways, Seth reminded me that we are leaving on June 23rd and come back sometime at the end of August. That is a really long time. I think the longest time I've been away from "home" (wherever that may be at the moment..) is about 2 weeks. How am I going to cope? Who knows... the way I see it though is Seth is really my "home" and he's coming with me, so that's all I need right? I am going to miss Fatty though. (By the way, we really just call Baloo "Fatty" now...haha!) I can tell you right now that I am going to be stick thin when I come back because I don't adapt well to new foods---pretty picky eater. I'll probably end up eating bread for 2 months!
For those that are actually wondering what the heck we are doing going to the Phillipines, we are going to do research at a university in Cebu to determine the overall effectiveness of the school on those that attend. We are going under the school, so it should be pretty awesome! Seth's professor invited him to go since he did so well in some psych classes (what a surprise, my Seth is so good at everything!) and I am going because of marraige default, naturally, and also because my research and thesis 491 is the equivalent of psych 305....which is pretty much the requirement of the trip!
And guess what? It's all paid for. sweeeeeeet.
I'm just excited to go somewhere, really. Traveling is awesome, and I've never really had the means to go anywhere cool. I heard the money ratio in the phippines is really small comparedto the american dollar, so I'm hoping for some good shopping.
Anyways, now I'm starting to ramble. Last note: everyone should see Horton Hears a Who. I absolutely LOVED it! It was actually really funny and cute. So go see it... NOW!
