Ich bin jetzt glücklich, weil wir Deutsch zusammen sprechen :)
three things to add to my bucket list
- learn how to scuba dive
- learn how to sail a sail boat
- go on a hiking/camping trip and live out of a backpack for a week

Well, we made it safely to Ohio after a little over 10 hours of traveling (including stops)! The long car ride gave me plenty of time to relax and get rid of some nerves. It also gave me time to watch 3 Planet Earth episodes (perhaps installments is a better word) and 4 Jeeves and Wooster episodes (season 4….it’s great; trust me). Good times :)
the beginning of the end
Well, Dad and I began loading up the van today in preparation for my move to college on Monday. I hope everything fits!
A couple of months ago I vowed to not be one of ‘those people’ who overpack their first semester away from home. I think I did pretty well in the book department: two textbooks to use as study references, and six books (my Bible, Mere Christianity, The Sartorialist, 16.50 ab Paddington, and its English counterpart, 4:50 from Paddington, and The Rest is Noise).
I also think I did ok with my clothes. Hey – I only packed 3 pairs of jeans!
I think I went a little over-the-top, though, with my kitchen supplies/electronics. I had such a great time cooking meals for myself this summer in DC, that I packed tons of kitchen stuff, even though there might not really be any cooking opportunities for me in my new dorm. And as for electronics, I packed 3 cameras, my laptop, my kindle, a clothes iron, a study lamp…
But as long as my harp fits into the van when it comes time to drive away on Monday, I’ll be happy.
