jenn's first post

this is only a test. this was totally jimmy's idea. i stole the address from grace. (see keepingupwithgrace.blogspot.com - from her work while in Haiti, plus several post-Haiti decompression posts)

I packed last night. My backpack, according to the label, features 2430 sq. cubic inches of space. About 15 of those remain available, but not all in one place, so...basically I could squeeze in several more chapsticks and EmergenC packets, but that all. Nor will I be able to acquire anything in E. Europe. Something must give.

My most obnoxious items packed: a brand new (and smelly?) yoga mat (with DVD). I am that person.

My shuttle leaves at 7:20 pm, my flight at 11:25. I get into Boston at 7:38 am and will navigate buses and trains solo (I have directions) to Harvard square where I will meet Laurie for breakfast. I am kind of excited to fly JetBlue, as I have heard good things. I am worried the television might defeat the Ambien in a (not so) epic battle between two substances I haven't consumed in ages. I'll let you know, dear readers, because I am sure these are the types of things that keep you awake at night.

I will have a hard time believing people will (or should) have time or patience to read a blog. I will have a hard time staying serious, but I will keep it clean b/c if no one else reads it, mom will. Hi mom.
