Scattered Thoughts from a Scattered MInd

Hmm...I sold my car. It made me sad. I miss it. Roly-Poly was good to me, bad transmission and all. Oh the sacrifices I have made for this ill-advised Peace Corps adventure of mine.

I just gave my sister 10 pairs of shoes. And there's more to come. Shoes and a life's worth of clothes. (Most of which I'm actually happy to get rid of)

As usual, I've jumped the gun. Am completely packed and I don't leave for 10 more days. I am an excellent packer and fit 70 lbs into my suitcase, but the airlines only let you bring 50 before they charge you. After 3 days of agony, I'm down to 50.4 pounds. But I'm still considering paying the extra.

In other news...I hate Kentucky even more than I thought I did. Everyday I feel more and more like a prune. Still need to buy gifts for my family, write a power of attorney and find someplace to put deodorant in my overstuffed suitcases. And I can't find the black shirt I was gonna wear on the plane. Eeek ! I'm more excited than nervous about leaving. In fact, I can't wait. The Peace Corps has a grad school program with Yale. I'm going to Yale. Dead set and determined. Either that or I'll move to DC. I hope I never see Kentucky again. Texas sounds nice too. Maybe Spain or Poland. So many options. Peace.
