Today was my last day of work in Nauvoo. It was kind of sad to say goodbye to everybody, but it also felt amazing to leave my work shirts and keys behind as I walked out the door. In just a few days I'll be heading back to school and I'll get another job there, so it's nice to have a couple days (okay, maybe like 2 weeks) without a job.
Unfortunately, I have a lot to do. I forgot how much there is to do when "moving".
-I need to pack up all of my crap, which first means cleaning my room so i can find all of my crap and organize it somewhere. I always forget how long this takes too
-I need to get to the Post Office in the random hours it is open to get a mail forwarding card
-I need to get to the bank when it is open to change my address. Seriously Bank of Nauvoo, you should get online banking.
-I need to pick up a few things at Walmart for my flight (can anyone say Princess Coloring Book?)
-I need to call the Church Magazine place and change the address on my Ensign subscription. Really wish I could do this online...
-I want to see a few of the sites in the flats since I have only been to one site since I got here (Scovil Bakery)
The good news is that I can continue making my September meal calendar. I heard back from the Financial Aid office today and thanks to the government and Federal Pell Grants, I will not be eating Ramen for the next year. I have enough financial aid to cover my tuition, health insurance, textbooks and a good chunk of my rent. This was probably the most exciting part of my day, gotta love emails from My Financial Center.
Now excuse me while I go read Harry Potter... I have GOT to finish the last book before I leave.

Glad to see you back on posting! Congrats on getting your financial aid for the year!
Good luck packing up all that "crap." :) (you crack me up).
You're a funny woman. But you already knew that. I like that you HAVE to finish Harry Potter before you leave. And I hope you enjoyed some of the sites on the flats before you left. Good times down there.
I also forgot that you are very wise and resourceful...a September menu...I don't even know what we're going to eat for breakfast tomorrow!
