Things accomplished on "Things to accomplish before August 29" list so far:

1. Raided brother's coin collection. Discovered lots of euro coins I gave him after going to Europe in high school. Took them back.

2. Researched portable hard drives. Learned that they are expensive.

3. Found out that Ethernet cables still exist. Am now the proud owner of one.

4. Discovered fantastic internship for which, provided I do not already have two internships when I get to Berlin, I will definitely be applying. (Because the State Department internship, while an amazing opportunity, is ridiculously competitive.)

5. Bought lots of Band-Aids.

6. Bought three seasons of Top Gear on iTunes.

To go: 25 things.
