As before - yell if you're interested in stuff!

I may have to make Goodie Bags for my farewell party, and give them out to people before they leave. "Here! Have a bottle of gin, 25 blank DVDs, and 8 fresh AA batteries! See you next year!"

Am *still* having trouble getting travel insurance that'll cover me + possessions. Why is this so hard??



PS. I took and passed the Foundation amateur radio license exam. Finally (only took them about 4-5 months after I said I was interested). We were given 45 minutes. I was finished in eight. The examiner said I could probably take the intermediate exam almost immediately if I was interested, but I doubt I'll have time before I leave. (I was originally curious about getting the license back in autumn last year, thinking it'd be good for a winter hobby. This was before I decided to leave! But I figured I'd paid my money, may as well take the exam.. is it my fault if they only seem to do it four times a year, if that?)
