"And I need a job, so I want to be a paperback writer"

So I have finally hit the point where I am not updating daily. This will continue since it turns out our internet access is a little more limited than we thought. That will be okay though. It will be nice not to rely on technology/communication quite so much.

The past couple of days have been filled with packing and last minute shopping. It is strange trying to decide what I need for the next two months and fitting into one hiking backpack and a carry-on. I may end up taking another bag since I can have two checked bags. I am taking the train to St. Louis Monday night; however, and I am not sure if I want to try to keep track of an extra bag on the train.

The plus side to an extra checked bag is that I could move some of my books out of my carry-on. I have 9 books so far, and there are sooooo many more I want to take. But I don’t have space :(
Here is my book list:
Spanish Verbs
Spanish Grammar
Spanish-English Dictionary
Beak of the Finch
Dune
Ivanhoe
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
Bible
And my protection against Marc’s liberal ideas…




I wanted to read St. Augustine’s Confessions, but I wasn’t able to find a used copy in Jefferson City. Just as well. It doesn’t seem like I would have space for it. Que Lastima.
