things I knew but almost didn't believe

I'll keep this brief-- my move is real! I officially have my visa now (after a hectic trip up to SF... I wonder if my school will reimburse parking tickets?). I have suitecases and luggage tags. I have an address, phone number, teaching assignment, new email, the dimensions of my bed, a designated person picking me up (thanks to Sarah's cousin), lists galore... this is really happening! In just 12 days I'll be on a plane!
