put one foot in front of the other

The realization that I will not be in Japan in seven days has set in. I am headed for a maddash to come out of this unscathed, but I am draggin my feet in the dirt, not wanting it to start. I have 3 days to make my final presentation for Toyo AND create a new part for a tire. I have 2 days to make and finish my final presentation for AIESEC, which will not be about Toyo at all. I have 8 days to find a place to live in Madison that isn't out of my insanely small budget. Starting in 7 days, I will have 3 days to recover from the 15hour time zone shift and change from a work to school mentality. I also have the LC retreat mixed in those 3 days. I also will be without anything but my clothing from the 13th to the 21st, as all of it will be in my house in Random Lake. Laundry is beeping. Tonights party was good; not American or Madison and I needed that. We danced a lot with no punch. I also cooked dinner. Masaki gave me a video of him and some other AIESECers doing a lot of Asian/Japanese AIESEC dances. They are rediculously hard, but a ton of fun. I also showed the partiers some American songs. They caught on quite easily. Laundry is beeping again. The rush has begun. left-right-left ...
