Hey All!
My calendar informs me only 41 days until we leave! It's coming so fast I feel I'm totally not prepared! Things that keep running through my head that I need to get done:
1. Go to the bank--Apply for a credit card (my first one by the way), set up an automatic savings plan, let them know if they see charges from my card in Europe..don't worry! It's me!
2. SAVE SAVE SAVE-- Although I've been working 40-45 hours a week, having those jobs be minimum wage isn't really getting me anywhere. Then on top of that I purchased an iPad 2...I hope it's going to be beneficial while abroad. I'm really excited to "play" with it. In light of all of this I've decided I need to pick up more shifts at Applebees, and I've also picked up a few more Budweiser events (my third part-time job) doing some promotion of their new beer. No more shopping for clothes and I'm eliminating eating out!
3. What am I going to pack?!?!?! I'll admit I've spend some time at work thinking and calculating this. I'm hoping to do a "test run" of packing soon. And I'm also hoping to get together with the girls again to coordinate our packing.
4. Coordinating the night before we fly out of Omaha. We fly out at 7 am on March 12th so I'm thinking an overnight stay in Omaha is going to be necessary. Coordinating all of this is a whole other task in itself.
5. Finally another thought that keeps repeating itself in my head is that I still have a good amount of weight I'd like to loose before we go over. I'm thinking a solid 3-5 pounds. Gym here I come!
Hopefully all my questions and concerns will be settled at our next "Czech Meeting" this Friday!
