It's April?!?!!

I don't know where all of the time has gone. I will be home a month from tomorrow. That is absolutely insane! I was laughing to myself thinking about the To Do list I had going when I first arrived, because now it seems I've got an even bigger one to accomplish before I leave!

I need to:

• make an appointment with my banker to stop automatically paying my rent and to figure out how to transfer the rest of the money to my American account since I'll still be getting paid after I leave for a little bit.
• end my phone contract
• take pictures of all of my furniture and post it online- and hopefully get my money back for it.
• keep pestering one of my schools until I get paid for the extra classes I've been teaching.
• keep pestering the Allocations Familiales until I get my caf money.
• go through my clothes and shoes to see what is going to come back with me and what is getting chucked.
• go through everything I've collected as "future teaching material" and see what out of it is actually useful and what is going to get chucked.
• organize all of the things I've bought... and buy more. 
• clean every square inch of the apartment so we get our security deposit back.
• pack for Florence.
• pack a suitcase to bring to Florence for Dad to bring home. (and if you're reading this Dad- please??)

I know there is a ton more, but that's all I can think of right this second. I've got about 274 To Do lists laying in various places reminding me of different things. It'll all get done at some point. 

Then, of course, I get home and immediately have to start applying to teaching jobs. Which reminds me, I need to get a recommendation letter from a teacher here before I leave. 

I've got 2 1/2 weeks of teaching left, which is absolutely crazy. Then, Mommy comes! The first few days will probably be a lot of cleaning, packing, and walking around Toulouse. Then, we fly to Florence and I get to see my Daddy too!! 5 days of traveling around Italy, then another week in Toulouse where I'll need to finish packing, move out of my apartment and into a hotel for the last few days. Hopefully we'll be able to take the train to some cool places near by. Everyone hope for warm weather!

I'm going to apologize in advance because with so little time left, I'm spending very little of it at home, so I don't have as much time to update you all as I'd like. But, you'll all hear from me/see me soon enough either way!!
