One week...

For months, we've been counting down the days on both our fingers and our toes, and now the time seems to have just slipped right through our fingers. In one week from this very moment, we'll be almost done with our first day of building. This seems incredible, considering that I've spent most of today sitting on my couch, alternately studying for a midterm tonight and goofing off on the internet. I think the fact that I've wasted so much time today is concrete proof that, in the immortal words of Ms. Frizzle, "it's time to get messy, take chances, and make mistakes!" What better way is there to do that than by learning new things, helping others, and sucking every moment out of the experience while you're there?

See you in less than a week, New Orleans! Here we come.
