T-minus 4 days

Somebody had a case of the mondays today... and by "somebody" I of course mean "I". Nice little trip to the dentist for a regular checkup ended up lasting an hour and a half as various rotary hand tools were used to drill into my teeth. No one to blame but myself... and the coca-cola company for putting so much acid in their tasty carbonated beverages. Now I'm starting the fun task of packing two suitcases with everything I need for summer, everything I might need for winter, and a bunch of stuff that will probably sit on a shelf in Shanghai like it did in Madison, WI for the past five years (no joke, I have unopened batteries and eight cans of tuna fish from fall semester freshman year.)
