I leave for South Africa in approximately 17 hours, which happens to also be the amount of time that I'll be spending on the plain to get there. Oh jeez. I've been trying to plan how to spend that chunk of time, and i've settled on watching the second season of Six Feet Under, which I purchased from some sketchy vendors outside of Penn Station, and popping a Lunesta or five. Nothing better than soapy HBO goodness and pharmeceuticals. Oh right, I could read, maybe, but I didn't pack many books because my bag is already than the average sumo wrestler, and toting it around is treacherous as is. I'll buy the Economist but that is so wholly depressing that I'll be forced to self-medicate.
Orientation has been lovely. The Bard campus is gorgeous and the people in my program seem pretty nice. While the orientation activities have been monotonous (we played icebreakers, we saw the culture shock graph, we were instructed not to do drugs while abroad), I am incredibly excited about my impending adventure.
