the ongoing saga of bedlam, packing

[bedlamsbard]

1:44 pm: Oh my God, why do I own so many clothes? Do I need this many clothes? I think I have enough shirts to last me through the entire month without even washing any of them. Well. Maybe washing them once. Do I need this many shirts?

1:48 pm: Oh, I have to take stuff other than clothes. Like toiletries.

1:49 pm: Oh, I probably want to take sheets. That'd be a good idea.

1:50 pm: No, seriously, how many clothes do I need? Why isn't my laundry done yet?

1:54 pm: Oh, God, I have to bring the God damn towels, don't I?

2:07 pm: Packed: Extra set of contacts, one. Set of long twin sheets, one. Laundry: darks in dryer, lights in washing machine. Not packed: towels, toiletries, anything except clothes and not even all of those...!

2:15 pm: Oh, shit, I need to bring, ah, feminine necessities, God damn it.

2:17 pm: Still not packed: toiletries, towels, a third of my clothes, contact solution, extra paper...

2:24 pm: Why the hell do I have so many God damn clothes? I don't even wear half these clothes!

2:28 pm: Laundry! GO FASTER.

2:30 pm: DIE DIE DIE. Can't I just stay home so I don't have to pack?

2:40 pm: God damn it, now I have to figure out what books to bring. Not too many, not too few, but I have God damn stopovers to account for. ARGH.

2:44 pm: How the hell long does it take for laundry to get done? GOD. I can't even pack anymore because I need those clothes!

2:51 pm: Screw this, I'm going to go get the mail.

3:00 pm: THERE IS NO MAIL OR NEWSPAPER YET. ALAS. Also, this idea of clothes actually drying in the dryer? Clearly newfangled and unreliable. Half of first load thrown into dryer with second load, fingers crossed.

3:04 pm: THIS WOULD BE A LOT FUNNIER IF IT WASN'T ACTUALLY MY GODDAMNED LIFE.

3:10 pm: ARGH. SEND HELP.

THIS WOULD BE A LOT FUNNIER IF IT WASN'T ACTUALLY MY GODDAMNED LIFE.

Sorry, but it is kinda hilarious from my end!

As for the clothes... really? You're gonna over-pack. You KNOW you're going to overpack. And yet you do it anyways. It's one of the things about being a woman. You're unable to bring exactly what you need. Also, bring a bottle of fabreeze and wear jeans two or three days in a row, and then you can pack even LESS.

I know. That's why I blogged it. *smug* I always think it's hilarious when other people are having packing troubles, so therefore they should all share in my misery.

I DO wear jeans two or three days in a row -- it's not the pants that are the problem, it's that I have enough shirts to outfit all of Brown, and I'll probably wear most of them, so. *sigh* Plus, I have to pack sheets, towels, toiletries -- and my mom wants me to bring formalwear, OMG WHY?

Okay, I'm going to go see if my laundry is done yet. *crosses fingers*

Seriously, you'll probably pull a hoodie on over whatever shirt you're wearing, so take out HALF of those shirts and leave 'em behind :D. I tend to bring a lot of tank-tops with me, because I can layer them together and a dozen different looks with only four shirts. Also, hey, summertime! But I agree with your mom... if you don't bring formalwear, Murphy's Law states that you'll need it. But if you do bring it, of course you won't need it at all.

Hm, I should probably (definitely) go do laundry. I have NO CLOTHES omg.

Checked the weather for Providence: cooler than here, mostly, but a lot more humid. I was only going to be bringing one hoodie, but I was planning on buying one or more at Brown. I don't actually any tanktops -- a lot of camis, not so many tanktops.

*sigh* My mom insists I bring formalwear. CURSE YOU, MURPHY.

The formalwear is, at least, probably pretty easy to pack.

Yeah, the humidity sucks. Ew.
