It also doesn't feel like I'm leaving yet because I decided that I wanted to work in Academic Support all week, so I'd have an excuse to stay here even though I've finished all my finals. My roommate left this morning while the rest of us in the apartment will head out tomorrow. Since five of us are studying abroad and one is moving next door, we have to be completely out of the apartment! I'm not sure why I thought it was a good idea to bring 20+ dinner plates, a million different kinds of shoes, and random books and stuff that I haven't even touched all semester. I always forget that I'm a hoarder until it's time to pack up and leave somewhere.
Also... because I've been living under the Gordon rock, I didn't even realize that Christmas is in 6 days! SIX DAYS! No wonder I've been getting all these promotional emails about "last day for free shipping in time for Christmas!" If I had known that Christmas was so soon, I would've taken advantage of that.
A second example of my Gordon self not functioning in the real world - I tried to watch TV while babysitting last night only to realize that they had over 700 possible channels I could chose from. Naturally, I was overwhelmed and decided to shut it off immediately. The good news is that I'm sure I'll fall back into my TV obsession the moment I arrive home tomorrow, so no worries.
Over the past week...
