As the days wind down, I feel that I'm having a more excited outlook on my upcoming trip. I've been burdened as of late with feelings of homesickness just thinking about leaving the district for an extended period of time, even if it is only 3 months--about the same length as the summer break.
With my last day in DC, I'll be busy packing my bags. I've already stored most of my things in a closet at the batcave; all that is left is moving the bed into Justin's room and pack the clothes that I need. I realized how many electronic chargers I have to bring: laptop, iPod, Kindle, camera. We've been told to pack relatively light--a suggestion I'm hoping to follow.
Claire is throwing a farewell party for, which I'm looking forward to. It'll be wonderful to see everyone one last time and in the same place. Claire is a blessing. She won't let me help plan it in anyway, knowing my controlling tendencies! After the party, which is scheduled to end at 6pm, I'll most likely go with the flow and see where people end up. There's a planned trip to Ben's Chili Bowl for dinner and Kramer's for dessert.
I've been telling everyone that I'm leaving Sunday morning. This is a lie. I discovered that I'm actually departing Sunday afternoon, which means I'll be able to attend church on Sunday. I was not looking forward to sitting in the airport while CHBC was gathered and worshiping together, so I'm thankful for this last opportunity to gather with those saints before I head out. I'll be eating lunch around the Hill and then heading over to the airport straight from there.
