Predeparture: T minus 11 days

Test post, testing...testing...  I made a blog!

Many of my friends are more visually oriented than I am.  If this thing is an offense to your eyes, please tell me how to fix it.

In other news, I have officially left Rochester and it will be a long time before I stop whining about how much I miss the place, so I'll try to keep a lid on it.  Anyway, there are many people all over the country that I already miss to pieces, so this is nothing new.  Please keep in touch, everyone!  Comment lots and/or email me.

On a related note: I have a Skype account!  If you're one of those cool cats who also has a Skype account, you should add me.  Tell me if you're adding me, so that I know you're not a random internet stalker.

Progress towards learning Malay: I have something like the equivalent of an 18-month-old's vocabulary, if that baby were a math savant.

Preparation for departure:  My blood is immune to everything but kryptonite.  I also already own several long skirts from that whole Kenya adventure.  The next two weeks will be full of very strategic shopping and Tetris practice.  If I can't fit ten month's worth of belongings into one suitcase and a backpack, then I'm not the packer I think I am.
