Details, Details, Details

There are days when I feel like I work all day and never get anything accomplished, and there are days when I feel like I hardly do anything, but realize that I've checked a lot off of my to-do list.  Today (fortunately) was one of the latter days.

This past week I had a chance to visit friends in Indiana, which was a much needed break/rest...however I realized when I came back that I have barely two weeks left before I leave, and I still have a lot of details to attend to.  Yesterday I had little direction...I did a little bit of one thing, left it and did a bit of another...so I was working, but it felt like it was futile and nothing was getting done.

Today was very different (due in part to the preparations and things I had done yesterday).  I officially registered my house as being leased with my association, including a copy of the lease and contact information for everyone involved, I went to school and finished up the organizing and things I needed to do there, I almost finished my online Spanish class - all I need to do is burn my oral final presentation to disc (it's recorded and sitting on my computer right now), write another paragraph (which I may do tonight before bed) and mail it in.  I can very likely have that all taken care of tomorrow.  After that, I have a few phone calls to make, and I have to pack.  Otherwise, I think I'm mostly set.  There are still minor details to get worked out.  I'm going to help my mom clean the house for my going away party. I have a few letters of recommendation still to write (I should probably wait until I have fully reverted into English, because right now I'm still thinking a lot in Spanish).  But I'm not panicking about only having two weeks left to go (we'll see if I'm still saying the same thing when I have two days left to go...but for now I'm feeling pretty good about things...)

Two weeks from tomorrow I will be in Honduras (by this time at night).
