My apologies for the utter lack of posting in the past month. These weeks have been a little crazy trying to tie up all the loose ends before I leave, and now that there are less than two days left, it's at a whole new level. I've barely had time to be sad...maybe that's for the best, but I really wish I had more time to process. Until I can write for real in PA next week, here's a "By the numbers," a la Newsweek, of the last week.

0 more times I will be washing clothes squatting on the bathroom floor

4 goodbye parties in the past 6 days

5 pairs of XXL underwear given to me as a goodbye present from my dear host mother

9 cheat sheets found discarded on the floor after proctoring another teacher's English final exam

20 tasks left on my list of things to do (blog entry, check. make that 19)

44 kilos baggage allowance on China Airlines

45 hours left in Cambodia

Which means I'd better continue working on that list. Your thoughts and prayers for me and all the other SALTers going through intense transition times over the next few days are much appreciated. Love to you all, and hope to see some of you soon!
