I AM DONE WITH FINALS!! Woo hoo. It's a good feeling. So now I am moving on to preparing for Alaska. I have a list of things to buy for my trip. If you have any ideas on other stuff I may need, please let me know!

- sleeping blindfold (I hear there is 15 hours of sunlight in the summertime)
- rain gear (and lots of rain)
- soap, lotion, and shampoo (I don't know how easy it will be to get stuff I am not allergic to)
- digital camera (I will probably borrow my dad's for the summer. The one I have is a little slow)
- a few key dressy clothes (I need to be able to clean up good)
- Grey's Anatomy Season 2 (no cable and no reception)
- new jeans to replace my favorite jeans (actually I am replacing my replacement pair. Old navy makes crappy jeans I guess)
-new Nalgene
-waterproof watch
-I-pod holder for running


Aside from working on my thesis, I hope to get some summer reading done. I *finally* finished "Marie Antoinette." In the queue is "Running with Scissors" and "Why So Slow?" I also have 2 sea turtle biology books on the way. My mom needs some suggestions. I heard the new Oprah Book club selection, "The Roads," is excellent. What are you reading?
