drei tage

that means.... 3 days!!!!!!!! omg.
but, the big news today is that i got in to graduate school!!! all of you reading this probably already know but whatever. i will repeat it. because god damn i am excited. ok, yeah, it's johns hopkins which is not the BEST physics program and baltimore isnt the BEST city (but i think i could get used to it, alex says it's fun and it'll be close to everything) but it's a good program, and i'd prefer it over santa barbara, so i'm happy. Also because i only submitted my app like 2 weeks ago and this was an early admission, in the first round, which means they LOOOOVE me and want me to come there. they might even offer me more money. we'll see. i haven't gotten the financial offer yet.
ANYWAYYYYSSSS kyra had some good suggestions for things i shouldn't leave home without, i will post her list here:
  • tampax (you do not want to be trying to buy tampax in morocco) CHECK!
  • ibuprofen CHECK!
  • little kleenex packs CHECK!
  • hand sanitizer
  • tums or pepto bismol
  • adapters for foreign plugs CHECK!
  • cash or traveler's cheques just in case
  • guide/ phrasebooks CHECK!
  • your sense of adventure, patience, and karate chop CHECK! CHECK! CHOP!
Any other suggestions? those are good ones! I gotta work on those un-CHECK-ed ones. I got a few days though :)
Love you all!

I notice there was no word of the day yesterday? Why is this. In grad school now, so you no longer have to educate?

Recent experiences make me want to suggest:
-NyQuil
-DayQuil
You may also want:
-nail clippers
-lotion
-phone #'s on a piece of paper
