2 Days

I actually don't have anything important to write; I'm just pinging the blogosphere.

I will say that my Eurail pass arrived at my permanent residence a couple days ago. At least I'm ready for Spring Break lols.

I haven't really started packing. I've only packed one bag so far, the bag that I will be living out of for the first week. I'll get to the other bags tomorrow. I made a list of stuff to pack, and it's not too bad. Today, I even found out that bedding will be provided by my university, so that takes off a couple items on my list. Booya!

Sorry for the lameness. Expect a panicky packing post tomorrow, or Sunday morning...

John and I just bought our Eurail Global Passes for the legen-(wait for it)-dary spring break trip across Europe. Oh yes, the reality of Europe is totally hitting me with full force.

Today I was supposed to make a list of things to pack. The day's almost over and I don't have a list yet. However, as far as electronics go, I think I'll only be bringing two that rely on outlet power (laptop and hairdryer), which feels like an accomplishment. Is it?

As for the gift for my host family, I will be venturing into NYC next weekend. I've received tips from a couple friends (Thanks Sweta and Gus!) that non-US people seem to go gaga over "I <3 NY" merch, so I'll probably shop along those lines. Of course, ideas are still welcome, as I still have a week before I go to the 212.
