Today's the day!

In about nine hours I'll be up in the air and on my way to Honolulu and then Micronesia. While the last thing I want to do right now is get on another plane and subject my very confused and sleep-deprived body to another drastic time change, I think I'm ready to do this. I am definitely ready to stop getting "you are crazy" looks when I tell people what my long-winded travel plans in the past months have entailed.

This CATmageddon weekend is just what I've needed after too long away from my bestest friends. In the past 36 hours we've accomplished almost all of my Los Angeles faves: In-n-Out, USC (new campus center is marvelous), thai iced tea, El Cholo, and two great nights out in downtown and Newport Beach. Yes, obviously a lot of food and JOKES. Still to come is lunching with the lovely Insalatas in Redondo. With these ladies anything is possible, and I'm loving this time in the place where it all began.

I'm hoping to write more letters this year and take advantage of Micronesia's use of USPS. Letters and flat rate packages can be sent at domestic prices! (The US gives Micronesia such privileges and foreign aid, and in exchange we can build a military base there anytime we want.) I'll give my address here for anyone who's interested and would love to receive some addresses as well - I do like writing letters :)
