So I got medical forms and shit to fill out still but I'm kind of anxious about transferrable credits. Wise has let me and others down before, but I have no plans of being like a 6th year senior (I could live with being a 5th year, but I'd have to graduate in December) And I've taken a lot of the theatre classes offered on the ship already.

I'm also wondering what the fuck to pack. I don't want to bring everything but the kitchen sink(which is normally what I do) but appearently we have a laundary service that only runs every two weeks, and I forsee a lot of sweating in my future. But then, I need room in my luggage for souveniers and shit.

I'm really glad that I have semeseter at sea to look forward to, so I'm not dwelling as much on the things that inspire anxiety in me now. Which can be both a blessing and a curse, because already in this first week of being accepted I've missed a class and two thirds and one or two work study sessions and I've yet to build any costumes for the production. And then there's MCA, and I want to be really active with them, but am really afraid I'm going to let them down. And while I have no regrets about being involved with SAS and I know it will be the experience of a lifetime, I am sad about leaving some people, especially because some of them are burgeoning relationships, and I'm especially gonna miss Tyger. She was the one person I wasn't excited about telling that I got accepted.

Oh, another super posh (to me any way) attribute of SAS: they have vegetarian meal preferences. Fuck Yeah.

Aw boo don't worry about the medical clearance forms, it's no big thing to just get 'em done. I mean, unless you have a crazy ass doctor who insists on every heart test possible before signing your forms...

I'm thinking of bringing two of the biggest bags allowed on international united flights (since I gotta bring them through Nassau first) and pack them under 50 lbs each. I figure I'll pack pretty light since I can just woolite that shit in the sink between laundry days (I did this in the hostel in Spain all the time, i'm totally a pro.)
