There are 8,000,000 steps between me and Baltimore, and only about a month to take them all. Between trying to graduate, pre-work for Institute, preparing to move, and learning a couple years' worth of biology... it's a little overwhelming.
How am I prepping for the move? By watching The Wire, of course. I've picked out the neighborhood I want to live in; I'm dying to move into a colorful row house in Charles Village. I bought a gallon of paint to get my room back to its standard drab. I've also packed about 200 of my books into boxes. That's as far as I've gotten.
I love studying biology. I'm still learning about cell processes; these things are amazing! I've never spent so much time learning about how living things work, and I'm totally geeking out about how interesting it is. Most of it is stuff I've learned before, and it's a been a crash course review to cram it all in my head before June 11th (test day!).
I'll go to Baltimore for the first time in my life when I move there on June 21st. I've already done all of the paperwork to get there--fingerprinted, TB-tested, FBI background-checked... All for a week in Baltimore, a month in Philadelphia, then back to Baltimore to get ready for school. I won't be back in Kansas until the first major holiday I can make it back for. I'm reminded today of what the toughest part will... being so far away from my mom. My mom's my best friend.
Don't want to think about that just yet.
