getting ready

this week begins the one month countdown until i leave for the farm i'm going to work on this growing season. i am terribly excited. i've started sorting through my stuff and choosing what i will bring and what i will leave behind. i will most definitely leave behind my ridiculous alarm clock/cd player. that stupid thing is a piece of junk. the digital display does not work. it gives me clues as to the time instead of telling me like a good clock does. sometimes the clues are quite ambiguous. for instance, one night i was reading and glanced over at my not-so-trustworthy alarm clock to see how late it was. the clock smugly read 10:77 and would give no further clues. therefore i will leave that stupid thing behind. ha! take that!
