Woke up this morning...

So I woke up this morning... as you can guess, it was 8:23. I was immediately struck by the desire - perhaps "urge" is a better word - to begin Upward Bound packing. So, I dug my suitcase out of my closet, cleaned it out from the last time I used it, and began to pack. So far, I have been able to keep six weeks worth of clothes, toiletries and school supplies in one medium-sized bag, a small suitcase, and a backpack. My fan will not be packed, as there's no good reason to pack it.

I know I thought last week's entry would be my last, but I figured there's no reason to completely end a blog just because I leave for the summer. I can maintain two blogs I suppose. It's just the other one will be more in-depth. Truth be told, I just really wanted to use this picture of my alarm clock. It the alarm wasn't so loud, I would take it instead of my old alarm. BUT, I'm happy with my old alarm. Last year my suite mates enjoyed the feature where you can project the time onto the wall. It was convenient whenever we stayed up talking. Rather than squint to see the time on a regular clock, we could see it in large numerals up on the wall. Definitely a plus.

As UB comes closer, now down to 40-some hours from now, I am becoming anxious. Not only to see old friends, but also to meet the new people. But I don't want to make this entry TOO long. I'm going to go find something to do... hoping the thunder I heard doesn't necessarily mean a downpour is coming.
