My friends spent that night at my house and we were able to go to downtown Indianapolis to shop and walk around monument circle and then to see a movie. Because it was my birthday, I roped the entire group into going to see Sisters, the new Tina Fey and Amy Poehler movie. The next day, they stayed long enough to see Butler's rival Xavier lose their basketball game (woohoo!) and then loaded in the car for the trip back to Cincinnati.

| Casey, Me, and Annalise. Saying goodbye and taking pictures! |

| Downtown Indy in front of the lights at Monument Circle. It was very cold, but very pretty. We wanted to ask someone to take our picture while we were there, but there weren't many people around and we're all awkward anyway, so we gave in and took a selfie instead. |

| My boyfriend, Nick, and I. This was the last time I'd see him before my trip!! |

| To get ready for the party, I hung up a huge map in our basement and put flags in all the ports that the ship will be stopping in. It was pretty exciting, but there are a bunch of holes in the wall now... whoops. |
The last few days, I've been focused on getting everything ready for my trip. I'm going to load all my favorite music on spotify, back up my computer, and buy some books for my kindle. I went shopping to pick up some last minute things this week, but I'm going to have to finish up the rest of the shopping tomorrow. I've finalized my packing list, but I'm procrastinating packing it all up with this post instead. :)
In two days, I leave for San Diego. Two days later, I'll be in Mexico boarding the ship. I'll be sure to keep you all posted with all the exciting details! Feel free to contact me at lauren.wiley.sp16@semesteratsea.org
I'll have unlimited email access, so that will be the best way to stay in touch!
