Additions to the Packing List

I had a highly productive day. I sat through each class with rapt attention... to the little scrap of paper in front of me and my Sharpie pen (which, by the way, is the coolest pen to debut at Office Max) as I continued to write out my packing list for France.

I must inform the general public that my letter is FOR SURE on its way now. I'm not sure what was going on two weeks ago when I was assured that my letter was on its way FOR SURE, but nonetheless, I remain unflustered albeit a little disconcerted about the timing issue at hand. I only, you see, have to board my personal jet and get to Chicago at the drop of a hat. No worries.

Among such trifiling necessities, I wrote down several bizarre unrelated things such as "rope," and "scarves" and "scissors"... so if you need me, I'll be justifying my way out of TSA's rigorous and intimidating officers' clutches. "But officer, I NEED a clothesline in my dorm room! and these scarves are PASHMINA!!"
