Massive Mumblings from Malaysia

Ahead of Schedule

Last week: completed my Fulbright evaluation form; mailed my absentee ballot ("Far fewer civilians living overseas — one-fourth or less, according to many estimates — have bothered to vote in previous elections because of difficulties in obtaining and returning absentee ballots. ")

Today: I took a box of papers and books to the Fulbright office today; they'll send it to the Embassy to have shipped. I'm that important.

Tomorrow: wiring money back to my bank in the States and picking up my plane ticket.

Then, I'll be virtually done with all pre-departure nonsense! 10 days in advance! Boo ya!
