Avoiding future perfect

Is there another way to express this without using the future perfect? Thanks.

"By next week, I will have been here for six months."

At the end of next week, I will be able to say: "I have been here for six months."

No, just joking. I'd definitely use the future perfect.

If your teacher instructs you to avoid the future perfect (or the past perfect, for that matter) at all costs, don't listen to him/her.
