Post title refers to a song that we first heard in a Nanjing night club during my 21st birthday celebration. 5 days - Patrick Nuo
Five days. That's all thats left...five days and I'll be on a plane headed straight to Hong Kong. Well, maybe not directly (stops in Chicago and Shanghai), but before I know it, my grand life in New York City will be over! I started "cleaning" yesterday, but I'm starting to realize that I need to do more than "clean". I have way too much stuff and am having a hard time deciding what to pack. This is horrible because my aspirations to be a world traveler is not compatible with my "pack rat" personality. I can't let my belongings go! I'm even shipping my bedding home even though I know I could just purchase the same set back at home.
I absolutely abhor packing - the taping, wrapping, and especially the SHIPPING. I went to the post office today to find out that if I want something to be picked up from my apartment, I already have to know the weight and measurements of each box. If I calculate incorrectly, it gets shipped back to the origin, which doesn't fare well with me. Therefore I have to hand-carry each and every box to the post office. I really don't see myself taking a cab 5 blocks, but I also don't see myself carrying 5+ boxes to and from the post office. C'mon people! This is New York City! If you have the tools to pick up my goods, then DO IT! I don't even own a scale in my apartment to check how heavy my boxes are!
My room looks like a freight train exploded in it. Every time I look down I have the urge to give up and throw everything away. If only I could! I guess I have seen worse...the night I tried to pack up everything at Smith... I'm not even gonna go there. So where is this handy dandy packing list I was supposed to receive. Would be helpful to know what is necessary!
I finally booked my airport shuttle about 5 minutes ago and the shuttle service is forcing me to pack 2 suitcases, not 2 with a rolling carry-on. Just 2 check-in luggage. Well, I'll see what I can do.
Ok back to packing... without a packing list.
