Oz ETA: 2 Days

I have 2 days left in the United States. It's a little strange how slowly and quickly this trip happened. I imagine that's kind of like what my whole semester will be like.  It's not the big things that I'm worried about- I think I can handle the school work and getting over there. It's being homesick that worries me. It's missing my family, my alternate family (Hi Casey and Caroline!), and Eric. They are my support system, and the people I can go to in any mood and at any energy level, and they'll be okay with it. 

Last night I found this poem Casey wrote me in one of my drawers. 

 

I'm not sure if you can read it, so here goes:

Dear Missy, 

You are a grat babysiter.

A Super babysiter.

You are beter than a bug on a leaf.

You no are beter than a turtel on a ston with a fly in its moth.

Your beter than a bee with hunny in its moth.

You are better than a star in the sky.

You are beter than a moon.

You are beter than a lion on a hill.

You are beter than a six laged bug.

You are beter than a rainbow.

            Love,

                       Casey 

I know I'm not going away forever, but I'm going to miss everyone very much.

Here's the first in the installments of the Ladybug Photos for Casey and Caroline. 

Packed and ready to go on my backpack!
