countdown
Let the countdown to my UK adventure begin. I'm 24 hours away from wheels-up at Logan International Airport.
I'm packing today. It's hard work - think about the inability to squeeze your entire life into two suitcases weighing less than 70 lbs each. I say this because I've been helping my parents clean up and move furniture around the house, and because I have helped a total of four people move their stuff (ok, one of those people was me, but still). It's amazing how much stuff I've accumulated in three years, or that my parents have accumulated in 20 years in this house, or that Maria accumulated in just one year of college. I am, of course, thankful that I'm not moving furniture across the ocean, but at this point, I'm probably pretty used to it.
Payment for helping Diana move was collected yesterday in the form of an excellent sushi dinner. I think that more transactions should be made using sushi as currency. I am going to miss talking with Diana so frequently, as I will miss talking with all of my friends stateside with such frequency, but Diana, being as she is my best friend, will be especially missed. I'm glad we remain friends.
Today is Mike's birthday (yay!). Mike is my cousin, and he's getting married in May. Unfortunately, he scheduled his wedding for Princeton's Reunions weekend, which I plan to attend. So I'll have to fly from London to Newark to Boston. I hope to stop by the P. school on my way to Princeton.
So here goes. 24 hours and counting. Wish me luck...
