more about the silly classes. and my OCD..

after all the hoopla, i re-registered and got all the same classes!
for real, this time. haha.

i made some packets for my mom & dad, myself & my emergency contact today.
in it, are:
-copy of my passport
-copies of my visas (china, india)
-copy of my UNH ID
-copy of my ISIC (international student identification card)
-copy of my license
-itinerary (as of now, its always changing)
-copy of my health card (front & back) & doctor's contact information
-copy of my SAS medical form
-consulate information for each country
i read i should do this on journeywoman's blog. she's a single woman who travels and compiles tips for female travelers, especially those who go solo. turns out, she went on semester at sea! this past spring. and so of course, i read her whole SAS blog and then have been reading through her tips sections. she has women send in tips for each country, so i've also found some good advice on what to pack for the more conservative countries like egypt. but anyways, she suggests to have all the information from each country so that in case of an emergency you have numbers to call and/or a place to go. travel.state.gov has great bios of each country along with embassy and consular services. i'm SURE that SAS will prepare us and give us this information, but i like to do these sorts of things myself.

to be added to my packets are:
-flight information -- home
-hotel information
-mailing address (for each port)
-contact information from SAS
-SAS email information
-important UNH numbers/contact people
-credit card & banking information

i basically want to have AS much information in these folders so that mom & dad know whats going on, so that my emergency contacts know where i am/who to call if something were to (god forbid) happen and so that i have lots of information on hand! my obsessive-compulsive tendencies are coming in handy..


off to spend the day with mom---

87 days + 6 hours + 9 minutes until embarkation.. yikes!
