-I leave for Arizona tomorrow at 8 55 AM NY time. Traveling is somewhat stressful for me when I'm doing it on my own, mostly because I have to rely entirely on myself and I have a habit of forgetting little things (like a toothbrush) or not-so-little things (like my plane ticket; this has only ALMOST happened).

Things are really busy right now. 8 grants are due before the end of March, with 4-6 of them being due before I leave for Arizona.
