Packing

Without my 'Tab' button working and the apparent lack of a indent buttong I am forced to start my first post without structure. So, packing. I started today, a whopping three days before I leave (and it's hard). I'm supposed to bring supplies for three months of my life, which would be easy if I was doing a traditional study abroad where I was at a University studying and living a fairly typical western lifestyle. But this is different. I don't really know what to expect from my program. There are two excursions from the city, and I will possibly be spending the entirety of my independent research project (ISP) in the Amazon. So far it's been a bring-everything type event. With an additional 50lb bag free of charge for my international flight I am not lacking in space, but I also don't want to be weighed down. I hope this suffices as a first post. I'm sure there will be more to come later. (fyi editing, an important step in blogging)
