So, it's my last night on the farm. I've finally crossed almost everything off of my perpetually expanding packing list, and I think my bags might just be under the pound limit (50lbs. each for checked bags, 15lbs. for my carry-on). I'm prepared for 18 hours on the plane and 7 hours in airports - I've packed books, music, magazines, childish coloring books, and several crossword puzzle books (after my friend Mallory told me that her parents met over a crossword, I've decided to carry a book of them with me at all times). It should be fun. I like to think it will.
And then I wonder what I've signed myself up for.
That's all for now. If you've commented or emailed, thanks! I'll post more when I get to Christchurch - my Saturday, your Friday. I'll also put up my mailing address then. I still don't know where I'm living.
**A good way to think about the time difference: from EST, subtract 6 hours, then add a day.
Here is the address for the New Orleans blog: http://bigeasy5.blogspot.com/
P.S. My international phone number is: (011) +64 212213293.

woohoo, buddy, i'm so excited for you! you're going to have a great time. wake's going alright, but not as good without you (for example, i'm blogging instead of studying for my test in 3 hours, and i'd rather be doing something crazy with you!). i can't wait to hear about all the great stuff you're going to get into. hope the flights are alright; just try to sleep the whole time if you can... much less painful that way, haha. i love you! talk to you soon.

Hi, Annie!
I have a piece of sisterly advice, if you want it: I suggest keeping an open mind about everyone you see or meet, and making an effort to talk to people who seem different from you.
I hope these months abroad provide many exciting, memorable, and challenging (in a good way) experiences for you. Have a safe trip and a thrilling time in New Zealand!
Lots of love,
Kate
Hey,
Ever since i saw and read the lord of the rings i've wanted to head to NZ or "Wonderland." Its one of the most beautiful places left on the planet. I hope you enjoy your trip.I'd love to see pictures if you are doing that. you could email me at oojmm77oo@gmail.com.
Have fun,
Jack (your cousin)
love regenerates, even in a parallel universe or so i think.
take care, i hope you've stayed in the plane though until you reach the ground. (the laws of gravity still apply, too unfortunately)
oh. i get this blog thing it's backwards from last entry to first..I thought you were trying to confuse me since your celebrating Valentine's Day now and we aren't..does everyone have to read this? CAn you blog in private? that sounds obscene. is there spell check in blogging?..Happy VD. auntemni.
i like this whole crossword- match making idea. i hope to read more soon!
Hi, Annie! I just got news that you are now in Christchurch. Hope you are having fun so far and met some interesting people during orientation. How'd the crossword ploy work out? :)
