� ok, so now i have under a week until i head off to the united kingdom of great britain and ireland.� well, i can't remember the official title of the u.k....it's the "united kingdom of great britian and _____," but i can't remember it.� oh well.� i think it will be engrained me in a week anyways, that should be good enough for us!
� today's been a rather boring day i suppose...just lots of packing and errands.� i talked with my boyfriend for the first time in a few days; it's weird to think that both of us ran the same errands today inadvertantly: getting bank statements, photocopying important documents, getting passport photos.� it was just a sweet little connection that made me happy, you know?� especially with all of the stress of packing and stuff... ack! so much to do, and so little time!� but i just want to watch t.v....heh.
� i still haven't decided if overpacking or underpacking is the key to success.� right now it's underpacking.� i'm pretending i'm going on a two week trip.� so it's actually 2 weeks x 12, same difference, huh?� maybe that will cause me to only pack basic necessities.� however, one of my bags is already half full and i have yet to go through clothes.� should i be concerned?� who knows?� there are a lot of other documents and books i have to bring: my guides, info. about insurance, etc.� i guess it makes sense, although it sure does seem weird.� for all you guys who are used to packing to study abroad, how much is too much?� how much is normal?� is it strange that i'm packing peanut butter...at the expense of shampoo & conditioner (note to my future suitemates: don't worry, i do wash!)...i have my stuffed animal and some pictures to decorate my walls...what about sheets?� and slippers?� and shoes?� what should i bring?� ACKK!� i don't want to feel homesick! can i bring a blanket from home? and another stuffed animal?� should i bring favorite foods?� or books?� HELP!!!! i'm suffering from packing paranoia!! |
