I just printed out my official itinerary and the team packing reminder lists. Somehow, having the paperwork here in my hands makes it feel so much more real and immediate. Perhaps I'm just getting in touch with my inner bureaucrat, haha.

I need to print some business cards and update some playlists on my iPod. Also... After much deliberation, I have decided to take my laptop along. I heard there was wi-fi in the rooms, so I thought why not? Now I'm trying to remember what everyone's suggestions were for cleaning up my computer. Several have suggested backing everything up and wiping the computer clean, but the very idea of it makes me twitchy. What if I need some of these files? Some music, or a picture, or a word doc? I have no idea, I'm probably just getting antsy and overthinking things.

Three days till I leave home.
Five days till I leave for China.
Nine days till Opening Ceremonies.
Twelve days till competition.
