I lied. The portfolio wasn’t done until this evening around nineish. Why? Because I remembered a few things I had forgotten. I forgot to add two important things I did, I completely forgot an award I for worked *six years* to get, and I needed to add the special little divider tabs. But, now it’s all done, and I’m done packing, but I’m sure I’m lying about that too as I know I’ll be up all night worrying about it, reminding myself that I’ve forgotten something. Then, hopefully, I’ll remember it before I leave tomorrow. At least I have the essentials – underwear, pajamas, clothing, presents, and my portfolios. Got my palm pilot, wallet, passport, books to read, snacks to eat… shampoo! I forgot shampoo! Hang on a sec…

Got it! Phew. I think my bag may be near the limit again. I’m not sure what my excuse is this time. Last time it was because I was carting around huge jugs of maple syrup, per a request from a friend of mine in Ipswich. Maybe it’s the portfolios – they got *huge*! Oh! Crap! I just forgot something else I wanted to add! I had a friend review it this morning and she said I should add a paragraph to the DADA/PotterWar section about how sick I was during the campaign – you know, icky details like the whole brain infection bit, the IV line. I should have added that. Oh well. I’ll spare the admission board’s stomachs. 🙂
OH! (Sorry, my brain is working strangely tonight.) I finally got those pictures of my straight hair off the digital camera. Here’s one of them. I haven’t had time to fiddle with it so the colors may be a bit off, or I just haven’t realized how frightfully white I am. Sadly the straight hair has to go tomorrow. I’ve got to wash my hair before I go, just because I can’t stand having a greasy-head for that long. Sigh. And I was starting to like it.
I’ve got to get back to answering emails now. I probably won’t blog while I’m in England, except maybe once or twice while I’m in Portsmouth. My dad’s taking his laptop so maybe I’ll be able to use it. We shall see. Expect lots of pictures when I get back, and lots of weird stories. 🙂 See you on Memorial Day!
