Packing, etc

So, spring break has officially begun for me this afternoon! Since we are leaving DC at 3am tomorrow morning to catch our 6am flight from Baltimore Airport (I get cranky just thinking about it), I am in the midst of packing. I have to keep in mind Im going for about 7 days (6 without travelling time), so Im trying to exercise as much reason as possible while trying to decide what to take (my tendency is to overpack). Meg has made a strategic mistake by letting me borrow her huge backpack, so now Im resisting the temptation to fill it to the top.

***Things Im not taking:
-Anything related to school or work (yay!!!)
-My computer (you can almost hear the sobs)
-Scarves, gloves and other winter weather articles (yay for warm weather)
***Things Im taking:
-Several non-school books (yay!!!)
-Summer clothes (I'll pretend that I don't know that it's going to be in the high 60s-low 70s in DC next week)
-My favorite article of summer attire: FLIP FLOPS!!!
-Several of my favorite DVDs (thanks to Meg's portable DVD player)

Well, I better get back to packing. The picture of baby Tai Shan (or locally known as Butterstick) is a bit random, but he sort of represents the side of DC that I love and will miss.
