So, I leave in t-minus four hours for Mexico.  I do NOT want to wake up at 3AM, but I must.  At least we arrive in Mexico early.  Um, details as soon as I can!

I DID however update my gallery with some ‘Back in Minnesota’ pics, and I also updated my YouTube thing with a super short ‘goodbye’ video for the week I’ll be gone.  You can get to those using the links on the left side of the blog.

Pray for me to be safe, thanks!

Well, yeah. Party on Saturday for some friends and a whole ton of family for me leaving. Originally I had planned to have a HUGE get together with just my friends…but that fell through. Somehow I don’t feel like playing host that much, and family and close friends provides a less stressful atmosphere in the middle of getting ready to leave. In some ways, it sucks that only a few friends are coming, but in some ways it’s my fault for not being on top of it and getting invitations out ‘n stuff. Oh well, I _will_ be back for my senior year.

Lots of cleaning going on. Plus I’m still working from my college Japanese textbook, which is difficult. I need to translate a whole ton of hiragana into English to make myself feel satisfied, but I know it’s going to take awhile, and somehow I just keep putting it off. Have to do that tomorrow. At least I’m doing well on my powerpoint, it’s looking pretty good. Right now I’m assuming 11 slides is enough…but I have my trusty Laptop with powerpoint on it, so I can add/make a bigger one if the need arises later in the year. Good ‘ol Microsoft Office 2003.

Tomorrow/next week I’ll be adding a Photogallery [Coppermine] and a forum [XennoBB] to the site for more user interaction and stuff. The blog that I idolize [figuratively] is OutPostNine, a JET Teacher’s website and his awesome forums and things. I want to make my site at least as good as his.

Until later~
