Only two days left; oh shit.

I leave for Guatemala on Thursday.
Fuck me.
It's very crazy, my body is on the fritz right now- stress has been making me so uptight. Even when I went drinking the other night, I was still feeling stressed; the alcohol didn't seem to help me unwind at all, only exaggerate my stressful moods.
Well, I'm almost there, though.

I booked my flight today, two days before I leave. Leaving that until the last minute was the most stressful thing I did; looking for tickets freaked me out because all the flights were costing at around $1000USD. I lucked out with a $630 flight. That lifted a bunch off of my shoulders.
Packing will be fun with my room being a complete mess. I'll have a bunch to do tomorrow, getting all my shit together.

The airline security going into the US will be a blast with the heightened security measures they're taking. It should be fine, I don't see why I'd have any problems going through customs but it's always stressful going through the checks. They say I can't have any carry-on bags, but I can take my laptop, and camera. Can I take it in a backpack then? Or would that be considered a carry-on? It's kind of confusing, but again, I don't think I'll have that much of a problem with three or so items in a small backpack.

I'm not looking forward to saying good-bye to a few people though.. but I know I'm going to be back in 3 months for sure, so I guess I can say "I'll see you soon/later" or something instead. It still sucks going away.

This is going to be a flippin' gong show.
Hold on to your hats, ladies and gentlemen.
