Packing for PARC!

I'm beginning to pack for PARC now. I leave tomorrow night and I have to find a place to stay for my internship, so hopefully I can find one by Tuesday. I just finished submitting the final camera ready version of the Hypertext paper. So, that's one off my chest, I still have another paper to finish writing but it's not due until beginning of June. That means I'll have to write it in Palo Alto, probably at nights or on the weekend.

I'm getting very excited, I want to make sure that I have everything I need before I go. So I'm making a list in an Excel spreadsheet, and checking off what I have packed. That way, I know exactly what I've packed and I can still use the same list when I come back to make sure I haven't forgotten anything.

I'll still be accessible as always through MSN Messenger and e-mail and my blog. In fact, I hope to write some interesting posts and post pictures when I'm in Palo Alto! And if you have any ideas of what to do while in Palo Alto (so far I've been reading Palo Alto online), let me know. My supervisor at PARC has already told me the tasks that I will be working on, and I can't wait to start it. Of course, I still need to get a social security number and open up a US bank account. So, I'll be busy on Monday and Tuesday, meaning you might not see activity on the blog.
