on the move...

it's that packing time. it's that registration time. it's that cleaning time, the carefully tucking things together and sitting on suitcases time. how much stuff does one really need to stay in another country for five months? it's a long time. so much could happen in five months...

i know you're all sitting on the edges of your seats, wondering exactly which classes i've signed up for. well, i'll spread the love and spill the beans:

global environmental change
dublin, ireland: a brief literary history (lady gregory, yeats, synge, o'casey, beckett and joyce)
adv. modern dance

i haven't signed up for the dance class yet... gotta wait until i'm in the country first. the literature class should be very cool, since it's in dublin and we get to go to theater performances and the like... it's also not going to happen for a few months. i hate waiting.

and now the big decision: what books do i bring along? oh dear oh dear oh dear! life of pi? theory of relativity? tropic of cancer? man's search for meaning? searching for god knows what? atonement?

oh boy. i've shelves-full of books asking to be read and re-read. movies to be watched. how will i be able to boil it all down? does anyone have any packing tips? i'm pretty good at packing clothes effeciently, but suggestions are always welcome...
