Preparations

Ok, here's a quick rundown of what all I'm looking at needing to get down before I leave Searcy in a month:
-Finish my LST assignments. I have one assignment left which involves reading a book and writting about it.
- Attending and doing homework for my LST training sessions. These will probably be 3 sessions of 2-3 hours each with homework inbetween.
- Finish reading my book on Thai culture (about 150 pages to go).
- Figure out what all's going on with my visa paperwork and when and how I need to mail my passport, and getting that all done.
- Learn about and buy health insurance for while I'll be in Thailand.
- Pack. Figure out what I will and won't keep, out of the things I will keep decide which go and which to box up, and out of the things that I won't keep decide which are trash and which are too nice to throw away and give that stuff away to people (so if you've ever coveted any of my stuff now would be a good time to let me know).
- Buy things I will need to take that I don't have (especially gifts for my readers).
- Wrap up and close out my bank account (right before I leave).
- Have the oil changed in my car (and have other stuff checked) to prepare it for the trek to Nebraska.
-Write letters to all my contributors.

Well, that's what I've got off the top of my head; I'm sure I could add to the list if I consulted my planner.

I'm actually not stressed about getting all these things done, but I do sometimes feel the wear of going-going-going all the time. My biggest concern is keeping on top of things and keeping at it, as long as I work on this stuff a little each day it'll all get done.
