Getting ready to Move...to JAPAN!

Hello everyone. Time for the update on the lead up to the BIG MOVE!!!

Well I've spent most of the last week trying to clean up my stuff at my mom's house so I don't leave a big mess when I move out. I've also been trying to hang out with my friends and family who I probably won't see for a while, usually over meals or while doing errands.

At this point I've given up on finishing the cleaning, but I've gotten enough of it done that I don't think my mom will be upset with the state of things.

Now I've begun to gather the stuff I plan on bringing with me. And let me tell you its not easy to figure out what to put into two suitcases to last for an entire year, or more. I know I can buy most of the same or similar things once I get there, but I really don't want to end up spending all of my money on buying things I forgot to bring. The other problem with this is that I could end up with two wardrobes and not enough space when I come back. I guess the real problem with packing is that it makes the move seem so much more real and imminent (which I guess it is since I leave on Monday). The whole prospect of traveling for 24 hours by myself is kind of daunting too.

Oh well back to work figuring out the packing. More from me later.
