Why do I have so much stuff? I don't know how I accumulated so much clothing but now that I have to pack it all away I am suddenly realizing that I might have a shopping problem. When it's all packed away in drawers it's easy to forget how much of it there is. But then I pull it all out and I realize that, oh yeah, i have enough clothes to fill up three dressers and a large closet. And then the shoes. I normally just throw them all together on the last few shelves of my closet organizer but, oh my god, it's a small mountain. And how do I have so many pairs of jeans? Different colors and styles but I think I literally have more jeans than there are days of the week. I don't know how I have so many clothes.
All this time I've been thinking of myself as a down-to-earth girl. I enjoy a good book more than a pair of designer shoes. But maybe I'm wrong about myself. Actually, ok I know I'm wrong about myself. Not that I care about the designer name but I do love clothes (not as much as books but still).
Argh! I hate how I have so much when so many people in the world have so little. And I hate how attached I am to my books and my clothes. It's just stuff. I could get on without it all but I like having it. Does that make me a bad person?
In other news, all this packing has made me realize that I really will be leaving in two days. It makes me want to go sit outside with the dogs all day just soaking in the beauty of our family's farm. Oddly enough I think I'm going to miss my dogs more than I miss my parents. Ok, I'm sure that's not true but I really am going to miss my little babies (who are not babies at all, they are 7 years old and quite large and stinky).
Ok, so all this "I'm going to miss this and I'm going to miss that" stuff is annoying and stupid. I'm not leaving forever. In fact I'll be home a lot of weekends because I don't have classes on Fridays so I have 3 day weekends. Really leaving for college is just a headache because of all the packing.
