Nostalgia!

4 days left.

So far, I feel like this blog has been pretty boring. I've mostly been writing about how this whole pre-moving thing feels but that's because I really want to remember what it's like. I mean, I guess it could be helpful for other people to read to help them handle moving out of their house for the first time, but these pre-move posts are mostly for future me to look back at. I just wanted to acknowledge that I recognize how anticlimactic these posts have been so far, now on to today's blog!

I've started packing. It's an interesting process. I'm going through literally EVERY thing I own, opening every box, every storage container, and appraising each item. It's hard to prioritize and to leave behind the sentimental, yet completely unnecessary things. But it's also kind of fun. In my scavenging, I found some old notes from friends in high school, my first watch, and my Pokemon cards (which I should see what their worth is now). I've decided that for this transition in my life, Nostalgia is my friend. The things from my past I'm finding remind me of how different I used to be and how things have already changed so much! This makes the move to NY seem like a natural part of my life- just another change. On the other hand, it's kind of sad to watch my room becoming kind of empty. Not so much for me, but for my parents. I can't say I'm not worried about them and how they'll feel when they walk into my lifeless room. Note to self: call them daily.

That is all for today. Tomorrow (well, really later today since it's 1AM) is my "going away party," so that promises to be interesting!
