Oh snap, it happened

Alright, so upon request from Miss Kelly Henkler, I will be attempting to keep a blog while down in Ecuador. Due to my flaky nature, I can't promise that it'll be updated regularly... although I did get a fancy new DSLR camera for Christmas, so I'm planning on at least providing some visual updates.

I think I'm starting to panic a bit about packing and all the things that I need to wrap up before I leave. For instance, other morning I woke up at 5:30 and frantically counted all of my underwear in an attempt to start packing...

Mainly, I'm just worried about spending quality time with family and friends... oh, and that lovely little test called the GRE. Some time back in November I got the brilliant idea that I should take the GRE before I left. In two years when I'm applying for grad school, hopefully I'll appreciate the decision, but right now I would rather not be studying. Luckily Coffea has free internet and good coffee (almost on par with Cherry Alley's), so I guess the studying situation could potentially less favorable.

Advice for the day: if you're worried about not having fresh broccoli readily available for the next 2 years, bring seeds.
