I think I've been running on a total of six hours of sleep between two days.

I haven't posted much on this blog but I copy and pasted from my tumblr (cupcakegoroar.tumblr.com) about SAS:

In short, I left my passport at JFK international airport when I flew to Orlando (for a day at Universal Studios/HP World with fellow SASers Tram, Alexa and Rolando). That mishap resulted in silent panic attacks all damn day and relief when I finally figured out it was safe and sound at the lost and found....over 1000 miles away.

So what did I do? Caught a last minute flight back to NY at 930pm (figured out where my passport was at 6:30pm) and now I'm sitting at JFK for a flight going BACK to Orlando that leaves at 630 AM (I left my stuff there with my friends so I didn't have to lug it around). But all in all- I'm tired as FUCK.. and I'm super paranoid about losing anything and everything. That was a 500$ mistake. FML.

But the silver lining? I'm flying out to Nassau, Bahamas to meet up with even more SASers at a round 1230pm!

Last day in the United States for the next... say it with me- 4 fucking months!

I cannot believe that less than a year from now, I'll be circumnavigating the world via cruise ship. I seriously can't contain my excitement and the anticipation is simply killing me. Believe it or not, I almost didn't even apply (Part procrastination, part fear , part "I'm not going to get into this program") but I am definitely glad I did.

Anticipation aside, I feel so overwhelmed- I don't even know where to start planning this trip. There's just so much to do! Preparation for a trip like this is definitely a full time job (especially with the Visas... ugh... they are such a headache to figure out but I am determined to do them myself- I'm just hoping that the words "epic fail" do not apply to my Visas.)

So far, I've pretty much planned where and what I'm going to do in the days leading up to the trip:
Saturday :1/1 or 1/2 - Driving to FSU/ Tallahassee with Lucas (my boyfriend) to spend the last week with him before I embark.
Friday : 1/7 - Driving from Tallahassee to Daytona/Orlando to spend the weekend exploring and relaxing (:
Saturday : 1/8 - Hopefully meeting up with Tram & Alexa (Awesome SAS-ers that i met through the facebook group) to go to..... say it with me "HARRY POTTER WORLD" !!!!!!!!
Sunday : 1/9 - Flying out of Orlando to the Bahamas & most likely, staying at the Towne with Tram & Alexa (:

(Update: uh... what boyfriend?)
