I really like countdowns.

There are 5 days until 2011.
6 days until I'm in Indiana.
6 days until I'm with some of these wonderful people:

7 days until I'm at the happiest place in the world.
7 days until The Jon Williamson Future Quest.
11 days until the FOCUS Conference.
20 days until the Panhel & IFC retreat.
22 days until classes begin.
80 days until my birthday.
160 days until camp staff training 2011.

I like countdowns because they symbolize exciting things to come. But countdowns are no good if you only live for them and forget about today. That's why today I'm excited to go to the craft store with my mom, scrapbook, eat ice cream cake, and see some old friends from high school.
