....packing

...well i've crammed the next 6 months of my life into a rather large suitcase. I say "large" because I was actually able to curl into a ball and climb into it while it was empty.

This is a little different from backpacking, mainly because I can't look like a dirtbag everyday of my life. I have to be a teacher and look semi-professional and well put together, so a gigantic suitcase is the necessary route to looking like a real human. Props to Jimmy for not only bringing it home from Oneonta in one piece (not even knowing I was going to steal it--that's intuition right there), but for letting me take it because "I'm a girl and have more stuff."
