Packing

I'm all packed and ready to go. The cable company came and picked up my modem today and I canceled my internet. I bought some last minute gifts for people and I've been saying goodbyes throughout the day. One of the hardest was actually with the guy from the mini market on campus. He was a nice guy and when I was sick he would always offer medicine. He lived in Pittsburgh for a while and he and I knew some of the same places and people. I'm going to miss this place. I've been saying goodbye to friends as they've been leaving. It's been sad. My cab to the airport is at 1am and my flight is at 7am. I have to get there early because of all the extra security in Israel. Plus, there's even more security because President Bush is visiting. It's costing the government $25,000 an hour to keep him protected. It's insane. I'm glad I'm leaving when I am. This place is a crazy.
