London Adventures
Painful Packing Prep
Nine days left...
--Some call it "Mission Impossible"; others: "The terror, the terror!"; still others: "OMG! Dude, kill me now, I can't take it any more!"
--Definition: Defiling the laws of physics by placing extremely large volumes of fabric into a rather small rectangular container that must weigh no more than 23 kg and which you have to haul with you while traveling above the sea level.
--Commonly known as: packing (the horror!)
--Side effects may include: pain in the back and spine area, shaky hands, question marks and stars spinning above your head, a desire to drink "Red Bull" just to boost up your energy, inability to control emotions when suitcase doesn't close or weighs too much. There's also the ever-present "I-forgot-the-most-important-stuff-but-realized-it-too-late" syndrome and the eternal question which still baffles all living souls: "How in the world is this going to work out??".
I decided to try packing some of my clothes in an attempt to kill some weekend time. Apparently, this activity is dangerously lethal, especially for people who have never been good at packing "just the right amount of stuff" and have always gone overboard with taking 100 different clothing items of which they only use 5 (hmmm... like me). Right now my main suitcase weighs ~20 kilos, which is very good... except that I haven't put any underwear, cosmetics, or shoes in it... And even though I have 3 kilos left in there, there's absolutely no space right now. I sill have a smallish suitcase and a laptop bag to fill with stuff, yet I have to take:
~cosmetics - 3 kilos
~camera, video camera, batteries, videotapes...
~medicine
~memory book - 3,5 kilos...
~a small painting and a poster
~laptop, all cables, cds and dvds, headphones, cell phone + all its stuff, webcam
~a couple of notebooks
~pens and such (a few)
~yearbook (possibly)
~Freshman year planner
~all documents
~a couple of folders
~bed sheets
~(man, this ain't never gonna work!)
Yes, apparently there'll be a lot of rearranging going on, sigh... If I were going on an overseas flight, I would have been able to grab one more huge suitcase which would have definitely solved all my problems, but alas, 'twon't happen... I'll figure it out *haha*. Goin' back to the horror now... See ya'll.
