So far in the bag: digital scale (required by the pastry classes), notebooks, pencils, folders, and empty laptop bag, Tide clothes washing envelopes, loud alarm clock and some cigarette lighters. The excitement is building.
I have scoped out the closest grocery store (no lunch during pastry classes), a dim sum place a block away, and some great sounding Korean places only a few blocks away.
Ah, what a blessing. I have a hotel room only 2 blocks away from the school. A real room, with a refrigerator and coffee machine. Oh, that reminds me to bring ground coffee.
