28 Random Thoughts 28 Days Before I Leave

My flight is on Sunday, June 1st. I thought June 1st was a Monday. Good thing Brian pointed it out to me.

I can't believe how quickly the time has gone.

Especially our 3rd year.

At the same time I feel like we've been gone forever.

I'm really looking forward to going home.

I am NOT looking forward to giving up Fanta. *sniffle*

Fortunately I have a great home lined up for her with a colleague from work.

I am close to finalizing housing in Baltimore thanks to our amazing friends Arnie and Bunnie who offered to check places out for me.

I'm nervous about starting school so quickly after returning to the U.S.

I mean, how to people organize themselves? I haven't had to keep a real schedule with deadlines for 3 years now.

I am looking forward to visiting office supply stores in the U.S. to reacquaint myself with the variety of products available. (A love of office supply stores runs in my family.)

I will try my level best to finish the rest of the alphabet in my "Encylcopedia of Life in Botswana" series.

I also have more favorite places to write about.

Things I'm looking forward to in the US?

• Unlimited nights and weekends


• Stable wireless internet


• Food


• Like Taco Bell


• and Taco Time


• and unlimited chips and salsa at Chili's


• and ice cream not made with vegetable oil

Things I will miss about Bots:

• Sunsets


• the full moon


• Having our own little house


• Fanta


• Playing games with Brian


• Oven Roasted Chicken & Thyme potato chips by Lays


• Donkeys roaming the streets

Let the countdown begin!
