State of My Life Address

State of My Life Address

1. I am definitely mo' bettah packed for Palestine than I was for P/B. I have a single suitcase that is packed and zipped and ready. (though I might charge my video camera battery tonight)

2. I have everything for my backpack packing in easy reach slash within Kellie's house. I can toss all that together in the AM.

3. I haven't met Hitomi yet, nor mailed stuff to the US. I haven't received emails from Wende, Frank, nor Bryn to tell me what address I should use for them. I can forward that info to janette for Wende and Frank, but I'll need to work out something else for Bryn.

4. I am feeling quite confident that I will be ready for everything tomorrow. So much so that I may go see a movie tomorrow before leaving.

5. I think the final turning point was having an itenerary for my trip. Well, a list of places to visit, but in no particular order.

6. Super incredible thanks and love to my fabulous mom for sending me some much needed cashola. Blessings and love to her. (An extra heap)

7. Kellie's room, however, is still a mess. I gotta get a pile of crap out of here; Hitomi said she would archive it slash sell / toss it for me.

I can't easily find where in my journal these should go; I may not have even written about these events, per se.

This one was for some GET introduction thing where we did a dance and wore silly wigs and stuff in Broadway. This is the English-teachers-as-entertainers phenomenon.
