Today was another day of preparation. Preparation for packing, that is. In terms of things I have done/will do for Rome today, it essentially consists of a soul-sucking trip to Wal-Mart and some tedious ironing. When I say the trip to Wal-Mart was "soul-sucking", I do not mean it in some elitist "Oh my God Wal-Mart is the worst thing ever!" manner. In fact, I think Wal-Mart is a true monument to human progress: I bought a perfectly functioning (well, I guess I am assuming this, though it looks fine) battery-powered alarm clock for $4.75! That's the price of a latte for some people.
No, when I call the trip to Wal-Mart "soul-sucking", I mean to say I went shopping. I generally loathe shopping. It's irrational, but I do. So for anyone who would like to give suggestions as to what I should do while in Europe, keep that in mind.
Anyways, I bought some exercise shirts, random things like travel shampoo/conditioner, as well as school supplies, because we were advised to bring those with us. I am kind of afraid of bringing too much junk along those lines that weigh too much instead of clothes, but I think I'll be fine. And the best part about packing that stuff is that it doesn't come home with you, which means more room for chocolate.

Jamie-
Hope that you have a safe trip. You better start to like shopping because I am expecting something cool from Rome in return for your stuff that is stored in my basement!!!
I guess that I will have to get with the 20 something generation and set-up a facebook account so that I can see your pictures. Maybe one of my 20 something college students can help me out!!
Love, Aunt Betsy
