So the ankle is getting better! Hopefully it will be all ready to go by Friday.

I successfully managed to punch itunes in the face yesterday! My sister had an old MP3 player from a few years ago that she dumped for an ipod last year. So the thing has just been sitting around with the ability to hold 10,000 songs, but no songs on it. I snatched it and after 7 hours and a VERY big headache, I was able to convert my itunes songs into Realplayer MP3s (which is then able to play on the MP3 player)!!!!  Basically, I can now listen to all my itunes songs without having had to buy and ipod. Take that!!

I wrote up a huge packing list and it's a least a page long. Time (and my packing skills) will tell if I'll actually be able to fit all that junk in there.

I LOVE grapefruit juice! Oh man. I can't even tell you how much I've had this past month. I drink about 2 glasses for breakfast every morning. But sadly, it's just another thing I probably won't get too much of while I'm gone. Who knows though - maybe I'll develop a weird love for British food.
