... for one month? Omg, this is like packing for ONE YEAR...

[bedlamsbard.livejournal.com]

OH GOD.

Seriously. For 30 days, in a place that will have laundry? Especially if you wear jeans more than one day in a row?

Ten shirts, TOPS, including tanks, tees, and blouses. Five pairs of jeans, one pair of nice slacks, and maybe a pair or two of capris, and that's still a LOT. But I've gotten good at packing light.

You make an excellent point. But that would involve unpacking AGAIN.

[limmenel.livejournal.com]

If you have an hour to spare, you can just take stuff out and make stacks. But, I mean, you'll have laundry there, right? So why not empty that suitcase out a bit, so you can bring stuff home with you, or take a smaller suitcase? Seems like a LOT to have 16 t-shirts or whatever... one for every other day?

Hmmm, maybe, yeah. I basically dragged out all the cute stuff I'd wear during the school year, only didn't because...I don't remember that part, actually -- plus all the normal t-shirts I have, which is what I normally wear.

*sigh*

You're probably going CRAZY with this packing, aren't you? *pats* Just remember, Providence isn't the middle of nowhere. You can buy anything that you leave behind.

Good luck traveling (tomorrow?! today?!)!

I want to die. I get to repack again tomorrow. (My flight's at eleven pm.)

[limmenel.livejournal.com]

Eeew, a redeye flight? Man, that's going to suck. You'll land in RI freaking early, won't you? Like, 6 or 7 AM Sunday morning?

Packing sucks. Trust me, I know. Just wait until it's time to pack for college, and you get to pack up YOUR ENTIRE LIFE to move away. You think a month is bad!

...no. I arrive at about 10:30 -- I've got a two hour stopover at Cleveland.

*weeps*

I meant to post the first chapter of the spaceforce novel today! I meant to write today! (I signed up for another ficathon, but that doesn't count.) God damn it, I wanted to finish the apocalyptothon story today and all I can do is e-mail files to my laptop.
