5 days left in the Land of ToDo: Goodwill

5 days to go and oh so much to get done. 

Our early morning conversations remain about the same.  Today I asked her if she was getting nervous and/or excited.  She said yes.  I asked her why.
"I am afraid of the airplane and the Namsan tower".
Airplane: It's high in the sky, take off is scary, and you can't get out.
Namsan Tower: Over 700 feet tall. 
Naysia is afraid of heights.  I recall when we went to D.C. how frightened she was when we went to the Washington Monument.  The only reason she went to the top is because no one was willing to wait on the ground with her.
I reiterated the importance of soaking in this life changing experience, creating a new Naysia, journaling the experience and taking lots of pictures. 

Today we were able to cross a few things off of our To-Do list.

Shorts.  Considering the fact that she does not wear them, I refuse to spend lotsa $$$ for a clothing item that is likely going to be put in the bottom drawer upon her return home.  Two Goodwill trips (Tanque Verde/Bear Canyon and Speedway/Swan) and $41 later, she got eight pair of shorts.  I wish she'd wear them more often.  Her skin is a beautiful brown, legs are nicely toned.  Umm, on second thought, she should get back to keeping them covered once school starts.  
Now we just need to run the shorts through the washing machine about 3 times.   

Toiletries.  Thought we had it all covered when we went to Target, but she still needed hair conditioner, sun screen...and somehow hair dye ended up in the basket.  

School for her.  She completed her necessary essay about football last night and turned it in today.

School for me.  Tonight I submitted one of two essays to the tutor.

Most importantly this afternoon, the monsoons rolled in and we climbed into her bed and took a wonderful nap.  I love this girl...it's gonna be a long 3 weeks without her.
