The U.S. Should Switch to Metric

This morning my mom looked online for baggage restrictions for the airline I am flying with. Turns out, I am only allowed 44 lbs..total for checked luggage. For 4 months abroad. Total. So I looked at my two, almost completely packed bags and said "Welp, I have to say goodbye to one of you." Just when I thought I was almost done packing, I had to dump everything out and start all over. Lets just say that my new packing list is much shorter than the last one.
