6 more days

so I feel like panicking is my full time job.
I've been making list and double checking my shirt and skirt combinations
my thoughts are always racing like I'm trying to cram a lifetime of thinking into less than a week
I can't make plans beyond Tuesday
I still have some laundry to do
and more shopping! 
and sometimes I have to remind myself to breath and to get out of my head because if i stay in there a second longer I will lose all my ability to do anything except hid in a blanket and rock back and forth.

OH! and I just found out that I'm not getting set apart on Tuesday like I was planing. My stake president is going out of town so I'm getting set apart on Sunday night. I just lost two days of relative freedom that I was going to use for packing. but I'm not really upset. I am just in a state of kind of shock and acceptance.

and the craziest part in all this panic inducing  running around like a chicken with its head cut off craziness is I'm actually kind of excited about my Mission! beneath the layer of panic that I can get lost in is a bigger layer of nervousness and excitement.

I pray and hope I do well. I hope the people like me. I hope my companions like me. 

so one last thing I ran across some of the notes I have taken in various classes and I found one that is worth sharing.
It is know that CTR stands for Choose The Right. How do we choose the right? well I have some steeps for you
attend Church
go to the Temple
and Read your scriptures

anyway I thought I was clever.
