When preparing to travel, lay out all your clothes and all your money. Then take half the clothes and twice the money. ~Susan Heller
How does a person pack for a semester?
Rephrase: How does a person who loves bright colors, skirts, dresses, earrings, bracelets, necklaces, and flats limit herself to a 50lb suitcase and a 15lb carry-on??? You say impossible, I say I'm up for the challenge.
I've had all month to pack and I am yet to get that suitcase. Do I think time will wait for me? No, I'm not so naive; rather I believe my procrastination will cause me to leave the unnecessary items and pack the essentials.
And besides like I told my friend if I leave a few things I'll have justification to buy more...the rational of a shopaholic.
NEhoozers I hope that my blog will be sort of an online diary for what I do, what I see, and how I feel. In all I hope that my study abroad will open my eyes to something new, maybe even change my thinking habits...cliche...a tad, but it's true.
I can be pretty outgoing when I wanta be so I hope that works in my favor. Who knows, I may even meet a hot bloke along the way. hehe jk
All in All wish me luck and I'll keep you posted!! :)

I like the quote at the top of this post Judi.
ReplyDeleteoh, I like the quote by Susan Heller.
ReplyDeleteJudi! Have you departed already!? Dude I really wanted to talk to you before you left. But I pray that you made it safely and are adjusting well. Please keep me posted via email. And send me your adelaide uni email address. That is usually easier to check over there. Let me know what classes you enrolled in and how your room is. Are you at Aquinas College? Ttys!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Andrew...i love quotes.
ReplyDeleteYes I've left and I would have called back but I hadn't packed and got distracted. I def made it safely I just didn't have internet access for like a week. My adelaide email is the same. I have everything forwarded there so please email me...and no I'm in the "ghetto" of Lincoln but I happen to like it so no worries. I'm working on my accent and slang...hehe...:)
