Woooooo! I am finally packed for school. All I have to do is go buy a new backpack though, since Israel decided to destroy my old one. :-( I loved that backpack. Got me through 10th grade all the way through sophomore year of college.

Tonight at 7.30 (or so) I am leaving for Chicago! Tonight we are driving as far as Las Vegas. I'm really excited. I've never been to Utah, Nebraska, or Iowa (and I've only been to the airport in Colorado), so this should be kinda cool.

All right, Chi-town....see you on either Friday, Saturday or Sunday! (Aiming for Friday now....)

Am very exciting about the prospect of looking at corn for a solid 1000 miles. I'm guessing the first 1000 miles, until Denver, will look like mountains and deserts. Whereas the last 1000 miles will be just miles and miles of cornfields. We'll see though. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe Nebraska is actually America's best kept secret, and actually has the largest population of any state. But then, maybe I'm right and Nebraska is just cornfields. We'll see.
