Throwing my clothes into the bag isn't the hard part, its the little things. Wattage converter, money belt, copies of important docs, letter from my program director, 40oz beer stien for Oktoberfest in Germany, etc. I'm just excited to finally get over there after a semester and summer of forms, papers, and talking to other people who did the program.
Besides packing, my one other objective before leaving is to stop by the Massachusetts State Archives tomorrow before I head out. I've been in contact with an archivist there and they have many documents on the first Cheesebrough, born in Boston, England in 1594 and came "over the pond" with John Winthrop and crew in 1630 when this Boston was founded. After being involved with local politics for a bit, he headed south and co-founded the small town of Stonington, CT, which I had the pleasure of making a trip to this summer. I'm a 12th generation Chesebro heading back to my original home - it sure is convenient that I'm a history major too.
Next stop: Heathrow.
