257 Days

I've realized looking over my Wishlistr that I've knocked a lot of my preparation list!

Rain boots
Waterproof Jacket
Bus Pass
Passport
ISIC Card 

What I still need:

Suitcase
Plane Ticket 1 (I'm checking every day!)
Noise cancelling headphones
Polaroid + film

In other news, I've submitted formal analysis papers to several conferences in hopes of bolstering my CV which will hopefully in turn result in some grant/scholarship money. I'm really trying to make it work!
