The list of things to do until I leave for 27 months of Peace Corps duty is dwindling.  I already accomplished four things this morning.  This afternoon is full of shopping to finish off my packing list.  I’m getting so close to being fully ready to leave for Morocco.  Wish me luck.  It still feels like I have so much more to do.  At least that is helping me not focus on the stress of leaving so many people behind.

Today comes the final batch of poems from 2004.  These are some of the best poems I wrote during my teenage years.  I hope you enjoy.  Make sure to read Darkened Eyes.  My poetry finally stopped being sappy and became angry.  It’s worth it.
