We have our annual national convention for Speech Therapy in New Orleans this year and TOMORROW is the day that it begins! I've been washing loads upon loads of clothes the past 3 days (apparently, doing nothing but studying for 2 weeks straight causes your laundry to pile up into 6 loads worth!). And true to my style, it's almost 11:30 pm and I'm STILL packing! I mean really, why try and change who I am NOW?? And I'm definately taking the BIG suitcase. One of my friends coming with us has managed to pack nearly a whole week's worth of stuff in nothing but a CARRY-ON! That's incomprehensible to me. I mean, I require a carry-on size bag just to go HOME for the weekend! I've never been one to pack lightly...
Things I'm excited about:
1. Flying! (Traveling is my FAVORITE).
3. Just being in New Orleans in general!
4. Eating some gumbo! (though, growing up with a best friend whose parents are from Louisiana, I HAVE had the REAL stuff already!)
5. Eating BEIGNETS! (Now THESE I'm excited to try!)
6. Getting to see one of my bestest friends whom I haven't seen in about 5 years!
7. All the FREEBIES we get at the convention!!!
8. Spending 5 days with 2 good friends!
After I get back from my trip on Sunday, I get a whole WEEK off for Thanksgiving Break! So, basically I'm getting a week and a half vacation from work! Holidays, oh how I welcome you!
Well, my eyes are heavy...and I still need to pack more. We leave my apartment at 6 AM! uck!
Until I return from the Big Easy!...
