And that is my practice with unit conversion for the day. And tour retreat is not a retreat. I was lying yesterday. It's horrible.
So Fed decided we NEEDED to do Cosi... 5 minutes before we were supposed to leave. But anyways, we got out 25 minutes late, but at least he didn't yell at me. I kind of love that the one day of retreat I actually enjoyed was the one day he yelled at me. But that's just life. So when my parents picked me up, we continued on the epic search for a homestay gift. And FINALLY we succeeded. I got this cute Boston dish towel that sort of chronicles different parts of the city and it's still gender and taste neutral, so I'm really happy. Park Plaza is my best friend. I will not deny it. (That's where I got the gift).
So after that shenanigan was solved, we went home and my mom insisted on shopping. And she now claims that she won't buy anything for herself without me... and I reply that she's not going to have clothing in a year. And of course, I got nothing and she got quite a bit... just my luck.
Granted, then we went to Trader Joe's which made life happier and I got munchies for the tour. And stuff so that I don't accidentally pass out. All useful stuff.
And then the great packing fest began. Much laundry was done; clothing was picked out; a fight about necessity of a reed knife ensued. Much fun was had by all.
And at 7 there was gymnastics. And that improved life immensely. Shawn Johnson won trials and Nastia and Shawn are both off to the Olympics, with 4 teammates to be named in a month. Thank goodness I'm no longer a gymnast. The men's team was named and I'm really angry. 3 of my favorite gymnasts and people who have experience and performed well in trials were alternates. Anger...
So I'm off to Germany today. My flight leaves at 9:40 PM so I have all day to pack and relax. I will be on a blogging hiatus and unlike Marissa, I am not cool enough to publish my journal so there will just be a ten day gap. Deal. There will however be a comprehensive recap upon return (with pictures, I swear!). So this is probably toodles for now. Auf Wiedersehen!
