Not Enough Time

I leave for Kenya on Saturday, June 7th, and return to the states on August 8th, the Friday before classes start. The return date isn't what I would call ideal, but it does give us an extra week in Kenya to do whatever we want, it seems. However, with that tiny bit of time before the first week of class, I'll need to move into my new apartment, work on MS1WK1 stuff, get readjusted with the jetlag, and who knows what else since there's gotta be lots of things waiting for you to do after you leave the country for nine weeks. I can't believe I'm leaving in less than two weeks. I'm really looking forward to the trip, but there's still so much I want to get done before I go. And once I'm gone, I know the first thing awaiting my return is classes, so leaving will feel like I'm one step closer to losing my freedom. All the more reasons to enjoy the freedom I have now. But why I do I feel so tied down?
