Leaving tomorrow

Because of the dog and Mom needing more time getting her classroom ready, I’m now flying out to Halifax tomorrow with Dad. I was a bit worried about getting all my stuff into suitcases, but packing seems to have gone okay. All that’s left is finding a couch. I’ve told Dad that he isn’t allowed to leave until we find the perfect big comfy couch. I went through all last year without one, and it was seven shades of Hell. I am absolutely lost without a couch. I find myself stumbling around, looking for a place to sit. It’s both sad and pathetic.

You always hear about second years taking LESS stuff to school for their second year, but not me — I am hopelessly addicted to stuff. I thrive on having my room packed with things, both useless and useful. I bring action figures and fuzzy dice and tons of little knick-knacks that basically just sit around and look pretty. It makes me happy. Now if it were only easier to get all this stuff to fit into a suitcase.

See you in Halifax.
