The Countdown Begins

So after today I have 34 days until I'm on my way to live in Chile.
I almost pee every time I think that.
I have so much to do.
My room in my parents' house looks like the apocalypse happened in there..
Esmeralda, the most gorgeous snake you've ever seen, still needs a new mom..
and I need to make about $2,000 more to move and live over there comfortably.

Let's recap: Apocalypse bedroom, snake mother, money.

There is simply too much to do.

However, a lot of it is already in place/in progress, so I don't feel completely overwhelmed.
I bought my one-way ticket from Memphis to Miami through Delta, which is whatever to me because I have nothing really against Delta as an airline (yet?), but I found the absolute perfect flight on American Airlines-- 8 dollars cheaper, no stops, super nice.  As I was submitting the payment information, the price went up and when I went back in to try to purchase it again, the price was up to $630!
So that pissed me off.  If you want to read about something else regarding American Airlines, click here.
The delta thing will work out alright, allegedly, but I have one main concern:  It stops in Atlanta.  Atlanta is my least favorite airport ever, and the stop is only 48 minutes long-- not long enough to really enjoy a meal or do any shopping or take a nap, but just long enough for my luggage to get lost..

But, in total I'm paying like $908 for a one-way to Chile close to the end of the year, so that's not bad.
