Getting ready for San Miguel

What I have read in the last six weeks for classes:
1. Cod
2. Stealing Buddha's Dinner
3. Candyfreak (possibly my favorite)
4. The Underdogs
5. Biography of Frida Kahlo (way more than I wanted to know about anybody)
6. A brief history of Mexico (really not that brief)
7. Tear this Heart Out (not as bad as it sounds)
8. The Labyrinth of Solitude (way more convoluted than it sounds)
9. The Death of Artemio Cruz
10. about 10 short stories
11. about 10 essays

What is in my two suitcases:
-new printer, thanks to mom
-all nine books and short stories and essays listed above
-sunblock (lots)
-raingear (plenty)
-a few clothes
