Last Day in America

Wow I'm going to be in Paris in approximately 24 hours...

...and I still haven't finished packing (I'm pretty much done, but I still don't know whether or not I even have everything I need...).

I think I have everything I need/my dad is going on a Wal-Mart run a few hours before we leave, so I should be set/I shouldn't be worrying nearly as much as I am right now.

Anyways, my flight is in the early evening, so in order to get a decent amount of sleep before arriving in Paris, I'll have to sleep for the vast majority of the flight (possibly missing out on airplane food, which is probably for the best). But since I normally don't go to bed at 6 PM EST, I came up with a brilliant idea to make this early bedtime more feasible: tonight, I'm not going to sleep tonight (well, I'm shooting for 3-4 hours, but that's like half of what I normally get); then I'll be really, really, really exhausted by the time I'm sitting on the plane, and I'll just pass out right away and then wake up once the flight is over. Unfortunately, I'm sure this plan is going to fail miserably. I'm really tired right now (which is why this post isn't up to my personal standards; my creative juices just aren't flowing right now) so I'm probably going to give in to my desire to sleep pretty soon. I also wouldn't be surprised if I accidentally fell asleep on the car ride to JFK, most likely ruining my plan.

Regardless, I'm sure that everything will work out because I'm (going to pretend to be) optimistic.

Well I can't think of what else to write (I'm so exhausted that I initially wrote "right") right now, so I'm probably going to go consider packing and then just go to sleep (I'm disappointed in my lack of faith in my plan, which I've seemed to have scrapped before even finishing this post). Hopefully my host family will have internet access, allowing me to add to my blog at some point in time on Sunday (though it may be at some absurd time in the morning here in the good ole United States).

Also, if anyone wants to contact me, Facebook and Skype are probably the most reliable methods of communication (if we're not Facebook friends, why would you want to contact me/why are you even reading this...creeper). Keep in mind that there is a 6 hour time difference.
