It's hard to decide exactly what to pack when you go on any trip, let alone a trip to England being immediately followed by a trip to China...especially when you'll be moving into a new house in the 5 or so days in between the two trips.
However, it looks like I've finally been able to nail down the necessities for at least this first trip to Oxford and London.
I, of course, had to bring the essentials to survive the plane ride there and back. Being a McConnell Center trip, I would feel bad playing Pokemon all the way over (regardless of the many lessons in leadership buried within the game); thus, I've decided to bring a few books.
During my time on the plan there/in London and Oxford/on the plane back, I will be finishing up the third book of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, starting/finishing The Comedy of Errors, and then skimming a bit of Wendell Berry in my remaining time. Also, sleeping. A lot of sleeping.
If something particularly strikes me within these readings, it may be the subject of my blog while I'm on the trip. If not, I'm sure it will be about something insightful Dr. Gregg has said or about me getting lost...which will inevitably happen.
