Did I do everything I had hoped to do this summer? No. So I won't dwell on that.
1. WORK
Is over. I organized my files to the best of anal-retentive ability, and left my mice in the hands of my coworkers.
2. INDONESIA
Was fantastic. It started out with moments of pure horror and a nearly doubled cost than previously expected, but in the end it was worth it. It's hard to be anxious when you're in paradise. Maybe I will find an excuse to go study Balinese macaques. Terima kasi, Nick and Michelle!
3. SCHOOL
I am flying out this Sunday, and there I will stay. Within the first three days I hope to both find a place to live and procure a car. Then I will begin orientations, speaking with the professor whom I will assist, and classes. The amount of things that really ought to be done before I go is rather staggering. So I will leave it at that.
I'm beginning a new stage in my life, and it roared out of the gate with a bang. As far as packing, chores, and errands go, I am not ready. But in all other ways, I am ready.
