Packing, Packing, Packing

So, I've decided that it's finally time to start packing. Right now all of my belonings are sprawled across my bed, heaped in piles on the floor and taking over my desk. Lovely. I am way too exhausted at this point to put it all into the suitcases so that will have to wait until tomorrow. It is pretty crazy to think that I won't be in the states until May. My director gave us one piece of advice for packing, "Lay out all of the things you can't live without. Then, get rid of half of those items and take twice as much money."
