A Proper Spring Break, Finally March 14, 2008

Finals are over…almost.  I have one more in two and a hours that I probably should be studying for right now, but I read all of the materials, so I feel like I should be able to at least bullshit through most of it.  After that, I’m done.  Off to Raleigh for the evening, then I fly to Chicago tomorrow afternoon, spend one night in Chicago (where I get to see Hollis and Brian!!!  YAY!!!) and then we get up early the next morning for our direct flight to Honolulu.  I am literally beside myself with excitement.  I’ve hardly been able to get anything done this entire week, which is unfortunate, seeing as this has been the busiest week of my life, EVER. Packing was fun.  All the clothes in my suitcase are new, mostly, because none of my old clothes fit anymore.  To date, I’ve lost 46 lbs, which feels pretty fuckin’ good.  12 of those pounds happened in the last week, since my most recent fill–it’s kinda crazy.  The ladies at the gas station down the street keep telling me that I’m melting.  That’s a fairly apt description for how I feel myself.  There’s less and less of me everyday.  Weird and awesome.   The thing I’m most looking forward to about this vacation is turning my cell phone for 10 days, and not being around a computer.  Technology has infiltrated my life, and I’ve forgotten how I lived pre-cell phone and internet.  I’m going to have a brief Renaissance with the technological dark ages, and I can’t wait.  I hope we have to call for room service on a Gilligan-inspired coconut phone.
