Ugh what to do....

This is more of a vent/rant then a question...

I leave Greenland in 3 weeks YAY! I'm obviously super excited to get back to the states and to FH and to my new job/life, BUT I'm still gonna miss all the people I've been living with for the past year. Plus I have TONS of stuff to do to get ready to leave so I'll be busy up until the last day.

I entertained these important visitors last week and they offered to bring me to this important conference in Norfolk VA, which is an awesome opportunity for me. Except its the day before I'm supposed to leave here, so with the way our travel schedule works I would have to leave here a week early.

So up front this sounds awesome because I get to leave here a week early and I get to go to this cool conference but deep down I don't want to go.

I have not even begun packing up my room, I have so much work left for my actual job before I go, I'm supposed to finish this schoolwork before I go (not mandatory but it would be nice to finish before going home to FH) AND.... well I'm just not ready to leave yet, like saying goodbye to my friends and all. I had it in my head that I've got so much time and now taking away a whole week is freaking me out.

Problem is, no one else understands. They're all like awesome you get to leave a week early! And i'm like well yeah... but as much as I want to go home, a week really isn't that big a deal, and I'm not really going home a week early, just to this conference so I still get to FH at the same time.

Plus I'm kinda not looking forward to getting back to the states after leaving all these people I've been with for a year and being by myself for a few days before the conference, I think I'll be really sad.

My boss is like um you have to go, you can't miss out on this opportunity. Which in the long run i guess is true, but I will be the lowest ranked person there so I would really just be watching and not participating. And its just a planning conference for this big exercise/game in September which I'm not even guaranteed to be sent to!

Ugh... so I have to make my decision quick and I don't want to regret either one, thanks for letting me get it all out. This would be so awesome if the timing was just a little different and I wasn't about to walk out the door!!!
