Making a List

I’ve already made a lot of progress toward planning my trip. For instance, I’ve already accomplished these important tasks:

• Started reviewing my rapidly deteriorating Chinese textbooks from college
  
• Duct-taped my rapidly deteriorating Chinese textbooks from college
  
• Listened to my Cui Jian tapes to figure out which ones to replace with CDs in China
  
• Bought a map of Tokyo
  
• Told everyone I’m going (so now I have to)
