Tomorrow I have a full day. First there’s the packing. The shifting through textbooks trying to determine which ones to cart from one end of the country to another. Then there’s the updating of my iPod contents so I have something to listen to on the bazillion hour flight. I need to dig out my spare laptop batteries and install my bagpipe music software to help me practice. Oh, and I can’t forget my chanter and at least the basic music book. Once that’s finished I get to sort through my boring wardrobe and decide what to bring. I’m leaning towards t-shirts, comfortable sweaters and jeans. The only problem is they take up so much room in a suitcase. I suspect a few pairs of dress pants and blouses will make their way into the case in an attempt to try and save room.

So much stuff for just a week away. Of course, I can’t go a week without working on my History paper. It’s the final one valued at 40%. That means at least 3 books are being packed. More if I end up bringing my articles from my course pack.

Mom says the weather has improved – although snow is expected soon – so I won’t need to find my winter boots. Apparently a good set of sneakers (I don’t think I own any) or solid pair of shoes will suffice. I can’t get away without a warm jacket and at least one heavy sweater.
