The Final Month
I only have one more month left in Washington. I can’t believe this. I’ve been waiting and waiting for my Disney internship to begin for months, and finally it’s almost here! Now I have a million things to get done before I go. Here is a list of all that I have on my plate for my final month:
1. Work on erosion presentation for my biology class. I am in a 6-person group that is doing a presentation in two weeks on Erosion. Some of us are talking about the types of erosion (wind, water, glacial, etc…) and some of us are talking about geographic locations of erosion (The Grand Canyon, Iceland, The Olympic Peninsula, etc…). My presentation is on the erosion of Yellowstone National Park, which will be nice since I just visited the place last summer. But I still have so much work ahead of me and I need to sit down and just do it. I’m putting together a power point and it’s only 1/3 of the way finished.
2. Find a storage unit. I need to find a storage unit to hold some of my stuff while I’m away. So far I’ve only visited one on the west side of Olympia, and it’s a bit pricy. My dad is coming over in three weeks to help me move all my stuff to one unit, but before he can come over I need to find a place. This has become something much harder than I thought it would be. I want to find a storage unit that isn’t going to be too expensive, but one that is also close to my current house so I don’t have to drive my stuff all the way to Lacey.
3. Third draft is due. I still have one more final draft I need to write for my Writer’s Workshop class, and I have a feeling this one will be my hardest yet. I don’t really have much of a plan for this one, and it’s due in about 10 days. With that I plan to meet with the writing staff in the Writing Tutor Center on campus and maybe they can make some suggestions.
4. Pack. I’ve done a lot of packing, but I’m still a ways to go. You know you have too much stuff when you have already taken home a carload of stuff and it doesn’t look any different in your room. Packing can be fun, but I’m starting to realize that I’m running out of time to pack leisurely and I need to step it up.
Those are the four biggest things weighing on me at the moment, but there still are a dozen other smaller assignments and engagements I have. Plus I hope to get in some quality time with my friends here before I go. Moving is exciting, but it can also be quite a stress.
