finally!!! i can chill!!Been packing since noon..three hours...not bad. I kept forgetting things, and would have to unpack and repack everything. Then..when it came to clothes...that was a whole new issue. ma be in South Carolina for about 2 months...long time. So...i need clothes! But my mom kept reminding me that we do wash cloths down there, so don't bring too much. Im like..whats too much?? So i started sorting all the clothes in my closet. Shirts were so impossible. I set aside the ones that are too big for me now and looked at what was left...still too many. Next plan: pick all the ones i really like. Hmm..that crosses out about 3 more shirts...still too many. Step 3: Leave behind all my black shirts...its summer for crying out loud! Dark colors draw heat! So that made me leave beind another 5 or so. But i still have a large stack. So i just started picking some to leave out...then discovered that all but 3 of my shirts i ws gonna bring were tank tops. hmm..what if i want a shirt w/ sleeves?? So then i grabbed a mess of t-shirts and stuff...only to find myself back where i started. So i finally cut it back to 14 shirts i have on hangers ready to load in the car...i figure...that way i can go 2 weeks w/out washing anything (if i had to) and w/out having to wear the same things over and over. But then there were 3 tank tops i had set aside that i had forgotten about but i wanna bring. So i rolled them up and shoved them in the bottom of some other suitcase...haha. im so slick. lol.
So..i think i got it straight.
Now, im downloading music...i need a new cd for the drive there....8 hours in the car can KILL!! But...as long as i have music im fine. I usually listen to my favorite stations while i go through D.C. and stuff, that lasts about an hour...maybe a little less...until i can't get any reception. Then i switch to cds. Luckily, my real talkative cousin isn't coming w/ us this time..he'll come up later. See...as soo as we get in the car, he starts talkin and talking..and i have my radio on...and i turn it down...so i am half-listening to him. U know...smile and nod...throw in the occasional "Oh!!" and "haha!" and "Really?" so it makes me sound like im interested...but really im like...shut up! Im sorry...but i want to listen to the radio before there gets too much static and i gotta resort to cds..u kno how that is? so...yeah...i wonder what pple did before portable cd players came about...
