This blog will be about my latest escape plan.... leaving my job to become a grad-student and moving from Cambridge,MA USA to Cambridge UK. There will be both blue and gray sky moments as I try to fumble my way through my new surroundings and an ocean out of my comfort zone.

Finally!!!! Boxes are here.....End Scene!

Everyone can breathe a sign of relief as my 5th and final box arrived today. I sent 5 boxes out two weeks before I left. They were supposed to be here 4-6 weeks. One box came in two weeks (probably put in airmail by accident). Three boxes came 2 weeks ago (week 6) and today the last box arrived (week 8). As you can imagine this last box was the most important of the lot and I was eagerly awaiting its arrival. It had some lab comforts, stapler, calculator, and three-hole punch…..which blows everyone away…here in the UK it is a two hole system. I knew this and packed it anyway to be a Rebel….but I didn’t pack any three ring binders…..FOILED!!!

Bless the individuals in my lab that got the calls of my packages arrivals and had to lug them up the flights of stairs to our office. Bless them! I will be baking some treats in celebrations of my things!!

This last box had my (hugely missed) flamenco shoes in it…Yup that’s me, Packing the absolute essentials. Olay!!!! It is a great feeling when you no longer have your things out there floating around. My heart goes out to those who have lost items/packages along the way. Boy if these boxes could talk I bet they would have a great blog…..

Bring on the visit from Bubbah Gannosh and my McManager! ;)
