packing; e x c i t e m e n t!

So I've decided to take a break from the letter challenge because I'm simply running out of time! Gosh I'll be leaving in 4 days? And I won't be back until Aug 1st. I'll be at Berkeley from June 27th to July 24th and then I'll be back for a few days and then I'm leaving again from July 29th to Aug 1st for a scholarship reunion/seminar in Baltimore.

As promised, I'm posting my own version of the packing list. (Although I'll be heading down to Great Mall with my friend Angela to do some last minute shopping on Thursday and I'm also waiting for an f21 order via Dylan --thanks Pengda haha)
