Less than 1 Week

So, I have less than one week before I begin my adventures in India.  I am very excited about working with fellow teachers and sharing ideas and strategies as well as stories.  As I count down to departure time, I realize I am going to miss spending the summer with friends and family, but I know it is going to be worth it to have the experience of a lifetime.

Packing List so far (let me know if you think I forgot anything):

• Yearbook
• Photobook
• 5 t-shirts
• 2 shorts
• 5 boxers
• 5 ties
• 2 slacks (linen)
• 1 pair of jeans
• dinner jacket
• 5 socks
• School supply gifts
• Biology books/supplies
• loafer shoes
• 3 white short sleeve button shirts
• postcards
• visa
• passport
• chalk
• a few items to pass out as souvenirs
• camera and lenses
• laptop

I figure I can get a lightweight jacket and an umbrella when I get there (or maybe find one cheap at the thrift store this weekend). I think I have one somewhere, but finding it may be another matter.
