1 week 3 days 17 min 21 seconds

That's how much time until my mother and I bored our plane to Brasil. Every day I think of the members I'm going to get to see and I almost shed tears of joy. I know how much time until I go because I have a countdown clock on my desktop. At first I thought it would be cool now it's just annoying. It's always there! I should get rid of it. I have another one that countdowns the days until I'm done with my last day of class. . . 3 days 4 hrs 15 min and 32 seconds. Wow that's close. Really I only have one more day of classes but it's a Tuesday and Tuesdays are by far the very worst day of the week. I can survive. I keep telling myself that even though going to school at all the past two weeks has been torture. One more day, I can do it.

I should be working on my strategy final right now but Cecilia inspired me to write in my blog instead. Cecilia is always inspiring me. We just had breakfast together this morning with a bunch of our other Africa friends. No group of people makes me laugh harder.

Anyway, as I said, I should be working on my strategy final right now. Brandon makes fun of me because I have to do things way before they are due (it's due in a week and a half, I don't think thats WAY before) and he always procrastinates till the last second. I can't handle procrastination, stresses me out too much. I even started packing my room up like 2 weeks ago just so I wouldn't have to worry about it as much during finals week. I wouldn't be so worried but I have my best friends wedding next week which is going to take up the two reading days where I'm supposed to be studying for finals. I wouldn't care about my grades as much either except I want to keep my GPA up for when I decide I want to go back to school and get my doctorate so I can be a professor at the Marriott school. That's my new found dream.

Speaking of the Marriott School, can I just say how much I love it and how I really am sad to leave. I'm not necessarily a die hard BYU fan but I love the Marriott school. It's the whole reason I came here in the first place. Last night we went to the closing banquet, So many of my friends were there that I have spent the past two years with and of course the speaker was amazing. I'm going to miss all the amazing opportunities that the Marriott School provides for it's students. I think that's part of the reason I want to come back and teach. Being a part of that would just be amazing!!

Anyway, I guess I really will start my paper now. Especially since I've realized I don't have anything important to say other than my random thoughts. I love the Marriott school but I can not wait to be done! That pretty much sums it up.
