Packing is Like a Puzzle

FINALS ARE OVER!!!!

Now it's time to pack up my entire room since I'm going abroad next semester.  I HATE packing.  Most of my stuff is packed up and ready to go, but I'm having some clothing complications.

I am really irrational and every piece of clothing I own, even if I only wear it once a year, all of a sudden has significant value.  I keep imaging myself on fabulous European adventures and how am I supposed to know what I'll want to wear?  That is much too far in advance.  So everything I see I just keeping thinking I might really need this while I'm traveling.  I feel like this is how hoarders get started.  Soon you'll be seeing me on TLC's Buried Alive being crushed under mountains of socks and sweaters.

In fact that kinda happened last night.  I piled all my clothes on my bed so I could compare everything I own to make some decisions.  But then my friend called me and I went to hang out, without removing the clothes from my bed.  It was a lot of people's last night on campus so I was out late.  Then I came back to my room and what do I see?  EVERY ARTICLE OF CLOTHING I OWN TAKING OVER MY ENTIRE BED!  So I tried to curl in around it.  That didn't work out so well.  They came tumbling down and I felt like I was suffocating.  The socks were definitely trying to work their way into my mouth and the scarves were attempting to twist around my neck.

So, yet again irrationally, I threw everything off my bed.  And this morning I got to wake up and see the chaos first thing. NOT GOOD.

But I must get back to decision making...*sigh*

Here's a promo for my episode of Buried Alive
