compared to some, i've been around, but i've really tried so hard
so i'm pretty close to being finished packing. i'm sitting in my office looking at the mountain of boxes that's as tall as me, which is basically all i've acquired in the last two and a half years. i have to say that this is the most i've ever moved with in my life. i'm a little overwhelmed by the fact that i'm not completely purging the things i've bought since i moved here. i don't usually move with more than i can fit in my car (i.e. cds, records, clothing, books). to have furniture for when i move is kind of a conforting thought. i truly never thought that i would be happy at the idea of keeping things as i am right now. though there is less than a week left for me here in savannah, it feels a bit like i've already left.
this is the week of going out to eat with friends who won't have the pleasure of my company when i leave. i just got back from dinner at a place i've not ever eaten before. the company was better than the food, as per, but it was a nice evening. there is so much to do between now and thursday and i'd like to have it all done by then. once the going away bbq starts, it's pretty much a write off. i think i will have it all done though. i'm trying so hard not to stress about it. mostly, right now, it makes me a little sad, but i'm happy to think that this time next year i'll be back in the midwest, going to grad school.
