I have marked a couple of books to take. My fiction is very limited, and I'm hoping future visitors will bring me some of my library. I just have to make sure it's very organised before I go.

Ender's Game and Pastwatch are coming, as are a copy of LOTR and The Necessary Beggar. Possibly Speaker for the Dead. A fair amount of schoolbooks will also need transport (dictionaries, style guide, research stuff).

Meanwhile, I have decided to start my own version of Kirsten's "A Dissertation Story" and have created a blog: http://eaquaelegit.blogspot.com/

If you want to bring Speaker as well, why not just bring Ender's War? It may save a bit of space.

Hardcover. Two paperbacks would still be smaller.

Well I realize it is a bit late; but I have always been slow, :P so here it is anyways.

Congratulations Ali. :)

Right now my Master of Science is too far away for me to even taste; but that is the price I pay for taking one class a semester.

I know this is old news; but I did not see it posted (or missed it), what school are you going specifically? Is it Cambridge or another school in England?

I bet it is going to feel so good to study Latin on the continent it started in, even if it is scary. Heck, I probably would jump at the opportunity to study Latin in Europe and I **** at languages, just ask anyone. :) Then again England is the only other country I have dreamed of living in besides this one.

Best of Luck

Well, here goes!

I've got an acceptance letter and a place to live, and I'm putting money down on the housing. Point of no return?

Oh, and my visa application is almost complete. Yeeeeeeeee.

I'm so excited for you! What a wonderful opportunity. You've worked so hard for it and I'm so glad it's working out! Prayers will be with you as you begin (and continue through) this journey.

Thinking about you today, dearest.
There's another home somewhere,
There's another glimpse of sky...
There's another way to lean
into the wind, unafraid.
There's another life out there...
