brigdhI finished my comps! I survived! Hopefully I passed, but since it will be at least two weeks until they're graded, I am currently not thinking about that! Yay!
Now I'm frantically working on preparing to leave for the UK, which I do on the 23rd (AHHH SO SOON). I am unprepared to pack for a three month trip! It's not that I've never traveled for three months, it's just that when I have, it was for the field, in which you wear the same five outfits over and over again until they literally begin to fall apart, but everyone else is in the same situation so it doesn't matter. Now I have to deal with people who have their full wardrobes with them! And look professional and stuff! It is traumatizing. Also, googling for packing tips is not helpful. The internet's advice is apparently geared entirely toward backpackers ("you can wear your underwear four times as long if you turn them inside out and backwards! Less laundry!") or rich people ("don't worry about packing, just buy clothes when you get there!") neither of which seems helpful. Also, someone told me Good luck with the exposure of you geniocity. Move to Europe and learn things, not in books. Like "the humanity." I don't even know what that means!
So that is what is going on with me.
