Why is Kenya on the other side of my finals?

My mind is far ahead of my body, and already has journeyed to Kenya, while my body has a week left in the real world. Unfortunately, finals stand between here and there, and they are difficult when your mind is not longer here, but there, waiting for you anxiously and excitedly. Why is Kenya on the other side of my finals? The scary thing is that I will be there before I know it, and only have finals to show for it. I wish I could spend this last week enjoying San Diego with my friends before I have to say goodbye. Most of the people who will watch me go, will not be here to see me when I return.
