Okay, so I was supposed to have lunch with Mehran today; as in, I am still supposed to drive up to Seattle to meet up with him and share some Indian food. But I don't think I can. I can't believe I only have six days until I leave! And there's so much to do... I need to pack my box of kitchen towels and plates and pop-up necessities (i.e. hamper, shower caddy). And that's just the beginning of my to-do list.
Meeting other freshmen Frankliners seems to be coming closer and closer. I've been e-mailing with a few of them. Erin and I might try to meet up with a couple of them this week. There's a girl, Sierra, who lives in Gig Harbor, who seems nice. Baba and Angi actually came ever closer to actually meeting her yesterday out on the boat. They had a couple of couples over for a drink and they mentioned the school I was going to and then the other couples mentioned Sierra and brought out her newspaper announcement and showed them her picture. And then they, apparently, saw her while they were driving home. What a strange small world. Then I found someone who is going to be on my Delta flight to JFK, just in case you hadn't heard the latest updates. His name is Nick. He's 21, and he's going to do some sightseeing around New York during our ten-hour layover. I mentioned that I don't do so well on minimal hours of sleep, so he's going to help me navigate around the airport to somewhere I can hang out until it's time for our flight. So that's good news. Then there's a guy named Kai (sorry about the rhyming, I couldn't resist). Erin and I might try to meet him later this week over some tubing or something.
All right, so I should stop procrastinating and do something productive like eat breakfast. Good news! Even though I can't drive to see Mehran today, he's coming down here for dinner! So I will get to see him before I jet off into the... there definitely won't be a sunset at midnight. The dark black air? That sounds horrible. Anyway, I'll continue to keep you updated of my fascinating travels...

Hi Ari! I went on a 3 month post-CWA trip to the UK after my graduation. It was a small "international school" program, and I met 12 other kids from all over the US. No one knew anyone else before the program, but we all ended up being good friends. You'll have the time of your life.
You're not heading off into the sunset....you're heading toward the sunrise!! OXOXO, Lorraine Young
