Is it too early to ask: What the hell do I pack?
My serious life edit, undertaken during move out, has unburdened me of a lot of material things that I don't really need, which is helpful when thinking about packing. No more twin extra long sheets in my future. But I also threw and gave away some things I really liked/wanted - I got used to sleeping on two pillows, hanging my shoes up in my closet, and I sold some of my most beloved and useful books (I'm thinking primarily of Keylor's text and my Spanish dictionary). Gonna probably have to replace that last one, if nothing else.
Preliminary research (aka Googling "Madrid weather") indicates that Madrid has "nine months of winter and three months of hell," which means deathly July, August and September weather and then cooler, but not rainy, for the rest of the year. Dunno how accurate this is, especially since Audrey Hepburn led me to believe that there was rain in Spain (though Madrid may or may not be on the specified plain). So, that sounds fairly similar to Boston, except hopefully it'll just stay October/November Boston weather into December. Come on, Mediterranean climate, help a girl out?
Also, much has been made of the voltage situation. Plug adapters, voltage converters, etc etc - Thanks for not giving me any info on this, BU. I love my laptop, and I'm gonna try my hardest not to kill it.
Two months left, which I'm hoping will include enjoying the sunshine at Fern Ridge, seeing performances by Jason Webley and Matisyahu, and attending my first ever Eugene Celebration (mostly I want to see the Slug Queen Competition). And maybe, along the way, I'll get some clarity about what the hell I am going to take across the country and across the ocean to hold me over for 4 months.
