My bags are packed and I'm mostly ready to go. I think. Now I'm filled with both exhaustion and anxiety.

I did my nails this afternoon and the top coat dried with little bumps. There is no time for me to redo them. I will need to panic about it in the morning. Perhaps another application of top coat will smooth over the bumps? Of all the days for my nails to misbehave. Argh!

Next Monday is my first day teaching at the college. Should be interesting. The class is apparently full. However, I don't know what full means, and since it's the first class of the day, I have no idea how I will get my class roster either, as there won't be anyone in the office to get it to me.

Hopefully, sometime this week I will have a chance to lay out in the sunshine somewhere. I am not packing a bathing suit, but if the opportunity arises, I will not be above buying one. Surely San Jose has a shop somewhere with bathing suits? It is supposed to be in the 70s. That is mighty warm to someone from Seattle :)

If the wireless network works for me, I may post something or other this week. I'm not taking my camera; that would be one more bit of technology to pack. The GameBoy Advance and its plugs and things are already in my purse. My goal is: buy a latte (Starbucks better be open) and then sit at the gate till the plane boards and finish Castlevania. I am 74% through. It's nice in that there's usually a save spot close enough for a commute's worth of adventuring. Of course, if I finish it on the way down, I shall just have to pick up a different game to play on the way back, eh? :)
