17 days

Today is December third.

There are 6 days until I need to print my final presentation boards.

There are 11 days until my final studio presentation.

There are 16 days until all my projects from all my other classes are due.

There are 17 days until Suki and I go southwest a few hundred miles, and Saori goes northeast about six thousand miles.

There are 23 days until I drive back to St.Louis alone.

There are 24 days until I catch a flight for London.

Time is going to fly by. Which is why I'm glad we took time tonight to go grab a bite of good Mexican food in a tiny taqueria not too far from school in a former Taco Bell. Afterwards, we listened to Christmas music and drove to the grocery store where we picked up some $2 Christmas lights for our studio desks and some Christmas candy. It's 9:38 pm on a Friday night, and we'll probably be here for another few hours.
