THOUGHTS AND MUSINGS HONORING SURFACEY CONVERSATIONS, FAMILY, AND THE EXCRUCIATING MINUTIAE OF EVERYDAY LIFE

B.A. - bound

In 8 hours, I'm leaving for the airport.
24 hours after leaving Forest Grove, we will arrive in Buenos Aires.

Carry-on bag is strategically packed: therma heat pads, computer, season 2 of The Office, book to read, cards, papers to grade (yeah, right!), camera, passport in fancy green passport cover. Why does one need a passport cover? One doesn't. But, it's lime.

By far, this is the longest flight I've taken - seeing as how I haven't flown out of the US. Hopefully, I'll be able to post some stories and pics from Argentina.

(Oh, yeah...I need to find a stopwatch for that speech tournament thing...)

Oh please, like internationals is really about debate. You know it is just for the fun of leaving country. I say, ditch your timer and don't even show up for the rounds. There is way more drinking to be had outside of interps anyway.

Amen to that, Jacob! How many days of competition are there anyway? Three? Hope you're having a good time and I'm waaaay jealous of y'all right now!

Unfortunately, I am not in Buenos Aires... which sucks.
