packing frenzy

So many boxes, so many suitcases. Must remember to bring things I'd never normally remember, like a raincoat and an iron. I am at a loss for adjectives. (Yes, it happens.)

Here is what I'm up against, in the immediate future:

8/29, a.k.a. today: Pack. As much as I can.

8/30: Board plane to Denver. Bring spouse. Bring as many suitcases as I can carry, but make sure my Denver weekend clothes are in spouse's suitcase.

8/31: Attend wedding of cousin Don, formerly known as my 3L cousin (he's since graduated, and is now getting married in Denver).

9/1: See off spouse on plane back to San Francisco. Board plane to Minneapolis. Make sure to bring correct suitcases. Change planes in Minneapolis, and wind up in my new law school town around dinnertime. Find school. Find sublet apartment. Manage heavy suitcases without dislocating any limbs. Get suits hung up on hangers, pronto.

9/2: 8 am, transfer student orientation. Which is then followed by Oh See Eye orientation.

9/3: First Oh See Eye interview.

9/4 - 9/17: Second through twenty-seventh Oh See Eye interviews, interspersed somehow with gadabout realtor road trips. Find place to live. Decide whether buying is worthwhile; if not, sign a lease. Resist urge to upgrade to a camera phone to include absent spouse in househunting efforts.

9/21: Board plane to Minneapolis. Then to Denver. Then to San Jose. Hopefully at least one of the suitcases will be left behind; my subletlady (?) has authorized me to park one at her place until I return.

9/22 - whenever I book the plane ticket back: Finish packing apartment. Arrange for movers. Arrange for airline that is OK with chinchillas in the passenger cabin. Arrange to have car moved, or else decide to put several thousand miles on it and make the trek myself.

...and somewhere among all this, I'm actually supposed to be going to law school...
