Packing...and leaving the kitchen sink at home

Ok, so I know I tend to over-pack.  Really, I promise, I know!  I also know that I will be able to do laundry while I'm in Europe, there is a weight limit on my suitcase, and, quite frankly, there is no way I will wear all the stuff I want to take.

Knowing all of this does absolutely nothing to keep me from trying to take my whole closet.  It's just so easy to imagine a situation where you might need that-one-perfect-outfit that you left sitting in your closet because you convinced yourself it would be okay.  I'm even a good packer! I can make things fit in my suitcase even when a lot of people think I'm crazy (and my new suitcase is HUGE).  So really, I can do this...and I'm even going to make sure I don't take absolutely every little thing I might ever need..

.Linz is the 3rd largest city in Austria.  It has stores.  If I get there and find out I forgot that one last crucial thing, I can buy it.  I have clothes, I have pajamas, and I have my suit for Court visits (as part of the LAW study abroad, and only as an official part of study abroad, I promise).

Really, none of you needed to know about my packing issues, but since E isn't home and S and K aren't online (not that I blame you guys, its the middle of the night for you) to laugh at me, I thought I would share  :)

Only one more day before I leave and start this awesome adventure!!!  (ok, that sounds super cheesy, but, too bad...I'm so excited!)
