Lame Baggage Restrictions

<begin message>

So if I were taking just my stuff, I’d fit perfectly under the 50lb weight limit for check-in baggage (probably about 40lbs). But no, since the organization is requiring us to take over the workbooks, and is not allowing us to put all the workbooks in one bag and pay for the extra bag ($25) out of the budget, we have to fit all the workbooks in our bags. And it’s making me go over the limit. Therefore I’m leaving behind a jar of green chile (woe!), a thing of body wash (don’t worry..I’ve got another), 4 shirts (so far) and a small thing of listerine. I will also jam 5 books into my carry-on…which is going to be a pain. I think I’m still 5lbs over even with doing all that.

Ugh.

Finished my Analytical Grammar final in less than 45 minutes today. My next final is Luke at 8 tomorrow, and then Daniel/Ezekiel after lunch. I’ll have a 90 minute time limit to trace the promises related to the Messiah and his kingdom (involving both his first and second comings) found in Daniel and Ezekiel. Oi vey.

Still no word from Team Expansion. I may try calling again today, but I might wait until at least 10:30.

Friday is my last day at work. :-/ (In case you didn’t know, I was the Office Intern at LATM.) (That title was a pain to define to people…) If you need a job, or know anyone that does, they need a intermediate to advanced web developer for their bookstore. We’ve had problems getting it up and running, so it unfortunately will not be done by my last day. So please talk to me if you’re interested. ($7/hour, eh?)

A few people that I met at LST Training Weekends are already gone for their trips. Two teams in particular of whom I know are Team Chemnitz and Team Belgium. They’re having fun thus far, and hopefully culture shock doesn’t catch up to them.

The count for our team is now at T minus 9 days. I can’t wait to get home so I can start getting clothes washed and then packed for the trip. That’ll help settle my nerves.

I’m out for now,
Shalom!
