packing list

I saw on a fellow PCVs blog that she wrote down the stuff she wants to pack and what she already has.  I figured I should do that at some point too.  Just so I don't forget anything, and also so I don't wait until the last minute to get things.  And as it turns out, there is a LOT more I need than what I thought. I have underlined the things I already have. And I have crossed out things that either don't need to be packed or that will be provided for me.  So here is the list:
