Chihuahua !!!

Have you ever been so conscious of packing a suitcase in the tightest way possible that when you were finished packing you had, like, 15 cubic feet left over? Well, I just condensed an entire thesis chapter (a looong thesis chapter) into a 20 minute presentation that, all told, times out at about 10 minutes. DAMN IT. I can't just toss some extra socks in and strap things down with those little strappy things.

They're very serious about this 20 minute time limit thing - they make you sign something saying that you understand it and will comply. If you go over, they cut your tongue out, or at least glare at you, or at least curse you inside their heads. I wonder what they would do if I wrapped it up 10 minutes early.
