Packing 開始

[aide]

I finally got some boxes and tape and started packing stuff away to send home.  I don't think I'll have more than 3 or 4 boxes to send back to Ontario, actually.  I haven't even started trying to pack all of my stuff into my suitcase yet...  I was thinking of just getting a box and taking that with my suitcase on the plane (azn style) but I have 2 large suitcases... the flowery one I've had for 10 years or more and is definitely ready to hit the bin, so maybe I should just take it and then throw it out when I get to Japan?  Or just keep it; it fits inside the other one.  UGH what a pain.  And stupid people upstairs haven't brought me down a scale, or told me they don't have one, so I can't weigh things.  I'm starting to worry I won't have enough room for everything!!  Andrew told me to go buy some Space Bags and compress everything down.  And they are like 10$ at Zellers?  The only problem with that is the closest Zellers I can think of is in Oakridge Mall.  Which isn't that close, really.

There are still so many things I need to go through and toss... I haven't even started looking through my toiletries and cosmetics.  I am going to pick out the jewelry that I wear the most and take that with me and leave the rest.  Do I take some stationary?  I guess I can buy pens, etc when I get there.  I'll only need 1-2 to get me there.  Can't I just pick up and leave with nothing but a carry on?  Leave everything where it is for when I come back.

Sigh.  Now I'm feeling all depressed and blah.  STILL no word from Nova on my housing... I will be leaving in 2 weeks as of tomorrow.  My ticket also got charged today, and I have my e-ticket, so I'm really really going.  I guess it's too late to back out now...
