wish list

so i'm not usually up front about just asking for things, but i figure this may be a little different situation than normal. if you feel like sending a small package my way, here are some things i would love:

• pictures. of you, of people you know, of people i know, of family. of justin timberlake.
• q-tips. this is on the list of things that could really make my day.
• gatorade/propel single serving packs. it's really hot. i spend most of my day sweating. anything that could replenish a little bit of that is very welcome.
• protein bars. not a whole lot of intake here.
• spiral notebooks. the notebooks here are not the highest quality.
• facewash.
• incense. keeps bugs away and prolongs needing to hand wash clothes.
• anything you think i would appreciate. newspaper clippings, books, music (on tape), sudoku, add-water cake mixes.

send it here:

thank you thank you thank you. it also means so much to me to get a hand written letter, so don't shy away from that. these first few months are going to be hard, and i'll take all the support i can get.
