Just a quick update for today. While I do enjoy distracting myself, I really should be packing right now. I think I have almost everything I will need to take, so now it's just a matter of organizing things, along with tackling some more laundry.
I'll be leaving the house tomorrow (Monday) morning at around 4:30 am, to fly out of Philly at 9. From Philadelphia, we go to Chicago, which hopefully won't be as bad as the last time I flew internationally through there (on the way back from Germany our plane to Harrisburg was delayed for 4 hours on the runway, making me get home at one in the morning on my birthday).
The flight from Chicago to Beijing will most likely be over some pretty interesting places, including a large chunk of Canada, the Arctic Ocean, and Russia (maybe even a little of Mongolia). I don't know why, but for quite a while I pictured flying due west over the Pacific Ocean, but that would be a much longer route. Apparently I turn the aerospace engineering and related subjects parts of my brain off over the summer.
In other news, my mom and I saw a baby penguin in our back yard on Friday. Alright, it wasn't actually a baby penguin, but whatever type of bird it was, it looked a lot like one. It was sort of sitting on its tail in very penguinesque fashion.
Time to go continue packing, and avoid other distractions such as the books I just got from the library (you can tell it's been too long since you've been to the library when they have to give you a bag to carry everything out).
