I wake up every morning between 6 and 8 and I'm not sure why. Maybe, it because subconsciously I'm trying to maximize my time. I am ready to step out of my American life to experience a new culture, but what do I pack for a year? This question has been rattling around in my Brain for a long time. Maybe I should bring underwear and socks and leave it at that. Amy had a great idea she said I should create a working list of things I use on a daily basis. Well, I did and here's my packing list so far:
Luggage ( a little joke because I don't have mines yet)
Clothes ( including socks, I always forget to pack socks)
My bible ( it's a cool journal one chuck gave me)
Hair stuff
Journal
and that's all I have so far.
I plan to have a separate suitcase for gifts. Here are some gifts I have so far:
Minnesota Wild hats
Minnesota Shirts
Minnesota book
Spam key chain
Agates (that have holes in them so I'm going to make in into jewelry)
Taylors Falls book marks and pictures for my host family ( Their daughter will be in TF while I'm in JP)
Cd's
winter carnival buttons
and some homemade jam I made while in St.Croix Falls WI.
I'm still looking for gifts so if anyone has any idea's let me know. I'd like to be well prepared for the many people I will meet!
