As you can see, I'm pretty excited about shipping off to Michigan. That's probably because I spent most of today packing up stuff into two cardboard boxes. Those two boxes and a suitcase will fly up to Chicago with me on the 18^th, and will be dropped off in Ann Arbor on the 20^th. I'll settle into my place on the 26^th. I'll need to get an ID card, set up an account at the credit union, swing by the Center for Chinese Studies (like, a block and a half from the Borders), attend several orientations, take a language placement test, and sign up for classes. Very cool.
