Have I ever mentioned how much I hate packing?

This has been a weekend of last minutery - saying good bye to folks, talking about next fall, grabbing last minute gifts, and packing. Have I ever mentioned how much I hate packing? Well, I do. It makes me sweat. I have no idea why.

So I'm trying to cram everything I brought with me or bought this semester - less the 20 odd kilos of books I shipped back to Geneva on Thursday - into my bags and wondering how I GOT it all here. In fact, I've already trashed my sneakers, tshirts, a pair of socks, a pair of khakis, and various toiletries. I'm thinking of tossing the jeans. Why didn't I mail the leather jacket home when I stopped wearing it - I sure can't wear it on the plane tomorrow.

My first night here I had a few glasses of wine with Pier Alberto Merli, who runs the language school we work with. We're booked for 7 this, my last evening. Symmetry is good - and tonight it's warm enough for his roof terrace!
