Day 10 - Packing, packing and more packing

One of the worst parts of moving is the packing. At least that's what I remember from the last time we moved. In the course of my life time I have moved twice. This is my third time. It's technically not a "new" house considering we're moving into our old house. But over the last three or so years, I've grown accustom to this room, this space, my own bathroom.

And now we're moving back. I don't mind too much. The only negatives of the move are, I will not longer have my own bathroom because I will have to share with my brother. I'm hoping this does not rise any unnecessary conflict because he definitely goes to school way earlier than I do. So it shouldn't be too big of a deal.

And the house is about 10 extra minutes from school. This only means I'll need to leave for school earlier. Which I don't think will be a huge problem because as I said, I go to school later. I am not a morning person. haha.

Which aren't as big as the positives. In our new house, I'll be slapping on a new coat of paint to give the room a new look, and there's a pool in which I'll be doing lots of swimming in this summer.

As cool as this will be, I find myself having a hard time bringing myself to pack. I just don't desire to do so. And it's not because I don't want to move. I have nothing against it. In fact from the little packing I have done, I've also thrown out a lot. I've already filled up two trash bags and a little university bookstore bag.

I've come to the conclusion that I am a bit of a pack rat. I have a "memory box" if you will, in my room dedicated to old movie ticket stubs, concert tickets, wristbands, birthday/ Christmas/ Valentine's cards. However, there's lots in my room which doesn't fall under any of those categories. And I'm glad I figured this out now.

I really want to make sure that at this "new" house, I'm extremely organized. Because I'm definitely one of the least organized people I know, hands down. And I feel like the move will help that, at least I hope it does.

Butterflies are beautiful. Just for you Natalie. ;]
