Yesterday my mom suggested that we should start packing... which, of course... meant she'll start packing and I'll just linger around. I guess she pretty much knows from experience already that I do not know how to pack... AT ALL! I remember packing for 11 days two summers ago when I went to DR... and yup, not only had I overpacked (including stuff I really did not need at all), but I could barely fit stuff in a suitcase alone. My mom somehow managed to pack all of my stuff and my brother's stuff in one suitcase... ::shrugs::... go figure.
Anyway... that just serves as an example of how much I DON'T know how to pack. My mom knows that she might as well save all the stress, energy... and... well, her voice since she usually will be yelling at my stupidity... and basically just pack from the start. So, that is what occurred.
We didn't really do much, just packed my carry-on bag that is actually pretty big and supposedly allowed. This bag will mostly be carrying all the business attire we bought last week. And, yup... as I just sat there and stared (well, I did also manage to somewhat do 3 ties... after much trial and ERRORS)... she managed to pack almost all of the clothes.
Today, I started separating the clothes that I don't really plan on wearing over the next 3 weeks so that "we" can begin packing that too. I also put shirts I don't ever plan on wearing aside in order to send to people... thinking my dad in Colombia.
It's beginning to sink in how hard it is to pack up... well, your life... into 2 suitcases, a carry-on (which actually only has my business clothes... meaning it really only has my new life), and a bag. I don't exactly know how this is going to work out... but... uh... I don't really even know how to finish that sentence actually.
Hmmm... I guess it's one of those things that only time will tell.
Well, 3 weeks are left in good, ol' familiar Miami. I really need to start tackling that List of things I need to do. I started doing ties... and I already sent my LA Fitness cancellation form (which was a big ordeal in itself... 0_o )... and, I did also look into where I can get my International Driving Permit... but, somehow, that's just not enough.
The days do go slow... but, as slow as they're going, I know that I don't have much time in my hands. I only have a week of work left... so, maybe things will begin to diminish better after that.
Oh well... laterness to all!

Your Whole life is "Just Two Suitcases"...*sigh*
How sad if it doesn't even fill up two suitcases...
lol! if you can't quite get to fill up two suitcases, you could always use the pillows to take up room. =]
