Thanks Steve!

I am in the process of packing, it is not going very well at all. I have a lot of stuff, my brother and my dad came and helped move all of the big things so now I have piles of junk lying all over the apartment. The problem is that after this year is done I am not sure what my plans are. Alex and I have discussed spending six months in China and then possibly going to law school in NYC. If that is the case then I should just leave a bunch of stuff here for my roommates that I won't need and my mom doesn't need, dishes, lamps, t.v. stand. BUT if I come back here after France and if I go to law school here then I should keep all of this stuff because I will have to buy it again if I don't. If I do decide to keep it then I have to figure out where I am keeping it, how it's going to be stored etc...

As exciting as my dishes are, moving on to something even more interesting; I went to the post office this morning to send my books over to France. I have to take them because they are books for my online classes and for my thesis that I will be completing overseas. They weighed 47 pounds. I KNOW ridiculous, that's about as much as I am allowed for one of my big suitcases. So I sent them to France and it was $100, but if I had taken them with me on the plane I would have had to pay overweight fees and all of that jazz which would have been more expensive. The guy at the post office was a sweetheart and helped me figure everything out and laughed when I came in hunched over from the weight of my backpack. It's amazing that one person can turn your whole day around!

Last night I went to start the dishwasher and I realized that we are out of dishwasher soap but we did have regular dish soap. So I used that instead, that was a mistake. This morning my kitchen was full of bubbles.
