And the days roll on...

189 days until I have to ask an guest "Would you like to save 10% today and apply for a Target Visa card?" 189 days left until I have to stay until 11:30PM straightening up the cereal boxes for the fifth time that night. 189 days until I have to drop a quarter in a locker so I can lock my purse up. No more work for me till Winter Break!!! Tonight could not have gone any slower unless someone actually stopped time. All I could think about was that it was my last day working, and that if I could just make it through tonight, it would all be good. I really cannot believe I have 189 days until I have to punch in at Target again. That is both good and bad. It is great that I don't have to work, but it is bad that I will not be making any of the badly needed money. More than anything, I am happy I don't have to ask people the annoying question about the dumb Target Visa card.
Ok, so no more work, but that doesn't mean that I will be sitting on my behind all summer long. France is starting to become more real day after day. I finally feel like I will be there in less than a week. It is still surreal. I still remember bumping into ALP on the way to On y va with Rachel and saying that I was kind of going to the class for no good reason since I probably wasn't going to France. It is just crazy how things work out.
I am so excited for this trip, but also a little nervous. I will be there for 6 weeks, that's twice as long as I was there last time. It will be a long time away from the family, away from the familiar, away from my red beauty. But is also a long time to experience so many great things. I have the awesome opportunity to be there with a wonderful friend and another who I look forward to learning more about. I just know that the Lord is going to do so many amazing things with this trip this summer. This summer has been a busy one already, and it has barely even begun. All four of us are home this summer, but that is kind of not true. We are all working and work at different hours of the day. We actually all four at dinner together last week twice! I know that I will miss my family so much this summer. It was an extremely tough, long school year in which i missed my mom and dad and sister so much. Now, after only spending 5 weeks with them, I am jet setting off to France leaving them once again. I just really hope that I will not be too homesick.
