I've started packing for real now that the realization I only have 2 more full weeks until I move out of my apartment has sunk in. My two big bags are mostly packed containing books, school stuff, the quilt my grandma made, work clothes/shoes, and various other odds and ends. My closet is down to about a week's worth of clothes. The only part of my apartment that I haven't begun to pack is my kitchen which a) I'm still using and b) is being given to either my sister or my boyfriend anyways so no need to worry about packing it yet. My dad came down earlier this week to get most of my furniture to store for Grace and use in the attic at my mom's house once it's finished. The pictures below are what's left of my living and dining rooms. In the tubs are the rest of my belongings that will not be traveling with me to Vietnam. Everything else that I owned has been donated or given away. It's been rather freeing to downsize my belongings and realize that I really don't need as much junk as I had. Yes, currently my living space is in a sad, empty state but it's temporary. I've spent way more time than usual doing other activities this week to avoid sitting on my camping mat in the living room watching TV. I'm back to working on my Vietnamese, reading good books, and trying to use up the rest of my aerial classes/rock climbing passes.
If you're in Atlanta and want to hit me up before I leave, let me know. I'll be leaving the city on July 14.
