I leave for college this Friday. So that gives me four days here in my hometown. I don't think it's necessarily sunk in yet that I'm moving... I'm kind of deatched from it...like I'm watching someone else pack up all of her clothes and belongings. It's all rather strange.
What kills me is that my life can be condensed to seven boxes, one plastic tub, one hamper and several free-standing items because there's no way in hell my area rug was going to fit in a box with my clothes. I packed up all of my anime DVDs and posters, picked out a few of my favourite books and then the essential items like my clothes [which all haven't been packed yet, because I don't want to go naked for the rest of the week] and my toiletries. All I really need to go shopping for now is food. I have a few last minute items like GermX and bobby pins and stuff but really I just need some ramen and popcorn, maybe some soda and water for my fridge and then I'm done. I'll have pretty much everything packed by Wednesday and Thursday is going to be spent with my family and then Friday we leave bright and early because the earliest we can move in is 9 o'clock and I want to be there as early as possible so we have a long time to figure out this whole move-in thing.
Still haven't really talked to my roommate. She seems nice from what I know, though. I'm just worried she won't like me. She's so shy and I'm so not shy. She's an environmental studies major and I'm an English major and the only thing those two have in common is they both begin with 'e'. She likes horses. And I don't. So hopefully we can get over these differences or else we're in for a long year. I'm not so worried about the roommate-thing as I was in the beginning. At first it really stressed me about but then I realized that I don't really have to spend much time with her if we don't hit it off and just so long as we keep up good communication and can compromise and work together we'll be good. I hope.
Well...this may be the last time I write from my hometown, next time will probably be from college. Wow. That's crazy.
