Ten Days

There is a definite soonness about the whole thing. If I had a list of things to accomplish before I leave, this would be it:

• Complete a presentation of "pictures of home"
• Finish reading WATCHMEN
• Have dinner with my parents
• Work at Purple Door
• Have my get-together Sunday afternoon
• Pack it all up

Yep, that looks like the next ten days to me. The waiting has been the most unbearable part. Time has effaced for me the fact that my summers have always been relatively uneventful (relative to my school years). I feel as though I've been out of school for no fewer than thirty years, which in my mind is a long time.
