Packing @ MindSay

I have to pack up all my stuff to bring home on Saturday. It's time to decide what gets packed and what gets thrown away/donated. I acquired a microwave sometime during the year, that's going to be given away to some lucky douchebag.

They were giving away free bagels yesterday in the lobby. I grabbed two, and later came down and took a whole bag. I woke up today and was bored. Ended up driving to a shitty pawn shop and looked at guitars. There was a nice acoustic-electric there for $80. Maybe I'll pick it up before I come home.

I should be studying. I'm going to go read some Jack Kerouac instead.

So i'm in the last stage of packing for my return home from re-building New Orleans.

Low, and Behold!

I grant unto thee..
I've stumbled upon a cache of SOCKS!!
oh joy
oh wonder
enough to get me through the rainy season back home

Finally there are only two days left until I can board that plane and leave America behind for nine fantastic months.

Everything that I own is currently strewn across my bedroom floor, and I haven't been packing so much as pacing around and staring at it all - wondering how it's ever going to fit into my tiny suitcase and backpack.

 

It still hasn't really occurred to me that I'm going to be living in England this time next week. I've been watching BBC America, and movies like Love Actually and The Holiday and those things make me more excited and make it seem a little bit more real to me, but honestly I don't think I'll be able to actually believe this is happening until I can catch that first glimpse of British soil through the plane window.

 

Tomorrow I'm going back to the U of M for a seriously last minute trip to see all my old friends again, one last time while I still can. It's going to be so weird having to start all over again. Normally Sophomore year is a time to meet up with all the people you met before and return to a place that you've already gotten to know, but for me it's going to be freshmen year a second time around.

 

Hopefully I will get all my packing done in time, and get an aisle seat on the way to Iceland, but a window seat on the way to London. :)

I am suppose to be heading to a wedding reception this evening, but it is unknown if I actually am going to go because (1) all backups have bailed on me and (2) I just have so much damn packing to do! The living room is pretty full of stuff at the moment, but all of the big furnature that still needs to go is yet in my bedroom. Tonite we are going to get Grandpa's pickup truck and load the bigger stuff in that. I will have a full size bed and small computer desk waiting for me when I get there at least.

It is unknown how long I will be without internet. Gotta make an appointment to get hooked up AND have to have the money to do so. Man, moving sucks ass.

I leave my house at 6am toorrow for Sanfran....I have to pack today before 5:30-6:30. It's 2:07....I'm gonna miss everyone. I have a dentist appointment the day after a get back and thatsthe day before school starts. I'll probably hangout with poeple after my appointment. i'll ty to blog while out in sanfran!
ily all.
