Last Night in CT

I'm finally about to leave, but it doesn't quite feel like it. Everything is somehow all set to go. My computer was fixed today after crashing completely three days ago. I lost some things from my hard drive, but nothing too important. My checked bag weighs 69 pounds. They don't let you bring on anything over 70. Let's hope my scale is right. Also, my phone is staying home tomorrow, so I won't get anything after 2 pm tomorrow. I got to see everyone I wanted to see over break which was nice, and with almost no drama! Oh, for those of you who this may matter to, I tried sushi. Unfortunately, it was apparently an avocado roll, and I spend the next hour with a very itchy throat thanks to my very odd, but mild, allergy to avocado. So, I still need to have my first enjoyable sushi experience.

I finished the semester with not-so-great grades, for what I'm used to at least. I had a 3.15 average for the semester and my first C+ ever in physics. Gah. Luckily, this is a further boost for my desire to get a break from Amherst for the semester before the final stretch. My final obstacle, the 6-12 inches of snow that will be falling at its peak as my plane should be leaving the airport in NY. Wish me luck, and I will keep this as updated as I can. Sorry if this a horribly confusing stream of consciousness. Talk to you all from Europe!

Today's necessary procrastination technique: Google Maps.
I will be there so soon!!! The streets are so windy and everyone has the same roof. Should I worry that this is all I know about the city I'm going to for 5 months? I should try and remedy that. Post finals, that is.

I have also discovered that it is cheaper to fly from Madrid to London than it is for me to get to Madrid in the first place. How odd. So excited. Ok, back to torque. I hate torque.
