Kind of dizzying -- lots of stuff to be happy about, lots of stuff to be nervous about, lots of stuff to be sad about, lots of stuff to look forwards to. Transitions are hard.

In other news -- I lost my passport, tore apart my room for upwards of an hour looking for it, to the extent that I was very seriously panicking about not being able to go and all the money that would be wasted and how sad I would be and so on and so forth. And then I found it, and oh god was I relieved. Nothing makes you appreciate going somewhere awesome like being faced with the idea of not being able to go. (Possible photo-travel-blogging may occur on my flickr -- if so I'll link from here. We'll see.)

(That said, it also gives me a new appreciation for how creepy it is that you can't even leave the country without documentation...)

It's been a while since I've done the international travel thing so maybe I'mmixing stuff up in my head, but isn't it less about not being able to leave the country without a passport and more about not being able to enter another? I guess the upside to that is if you should find yourself a nice unclaimed island or something, and don't have a passport, you can still go there. I don't know, for some reason it seems a little less creepy.

Ahh, the boredom of being at home with absolutely nothing to do. I suppose I ought to be reviewing 6.002 notes or something (what exactly is capacitance again?)

It's frickin black magic, is what it is.

Re country leaving -- yeah, but how many unclaimed islands are there out there really? So it amounts to about the same thing. (That said, I'm still totally on board with the terrifying future in which we no longer need passports because they just use retinal scans for id checks.)
