Only 10 more days until our cross-country trip!! Here's our tentative schedule:
5/20 leave Boston, arrive Niagara Falls
5/21 Tour Niagara Falls, arrive Cleveland
5/22-5/23 Cleveland
5/23 Depart Cleveland, arrive Chicago
5/23-5/26 Chicago, arrive Sioux Falls or some random place in South Dakota
5/27 Mount Rushmore
5/28 Yellowstone National Park
5/29-5/31 Seattle
6/1-6/3 Portland
6/3 Fly home to Boston
The rental car is reserved, our flight back home is booked, most of our hotel accommodations are set in place, we've got a GPS, plus tons of maps (courtesy of AAA), my friend Craig let me borrow his camera bag for the HVX, and now the only thing left to do is... pack!! Yikes!! With my family coming into town for commencement next week, it's going to have to get done in one major cram session.
Other things I have to do:
-get a pedicure (my poor feet haven't been done since last year!!)
-buy digital camera batteries
-buy an IPod
-buy tapestock!!
-do laundry
-call MasterCard so they don't shut off my card when I make random purchases at Wall-Drug, SD
Thankfully, planning the trip/film has kept my mind off of the other major event in my life... graduation!! I am so UNhappy to be finishing up at Emerson, but grateful that I'll be sticking around throughout the summer to finish the film. All of the VMAers have been getting together a lot more frequently lately, as we're all aware that these are our final days together before everyone departs for separate corners of the country/planet. It's actually one of the things that's kept me from posting in the past two months-- I feel like my time at Emerson just began, and it's already two years since I made the decision to move to Boston and attend graduate school.
Ahhh!! This is all just too sad!! I need to be happy and grateful that I've been fortunate enough to have even had all these wonderful experiences and memories. Besides, the Celtics are on, and I need to make sure they kick some Cavalier butt!
