The one before the movers show up

Okay its 2am and I have to sleep , but I have to capture this moment …. As you can see this post follows what seems to be a recurring theme this week …so at 11 pm Thursday evening I start doing what I should have done the minute I heard I got a job and had to move ; i.e. begin packing in earnest so that I would be ready for the movers who will show up 8 am Friday morning .i.e the next day !!!

I was busy returning library books, locker keys ,borrowed CD’s etc. today morning and collecting books from kind and accommodating homes ,back to my own.

My bookshelf took me a while to sort , basically stuffed my clothes into luggage , and I plan on getting up 6 am tomorrow so that I can sort out my cosmetics and jewelry ( junk jewelry!! I don’t have heap loads of gold here, but yes I hope to find my non-junk jewelry earrings and bracelet somewhere in the dresser drawers…

So the point of the exercise was to separate my stuff from the possessions of my two other flat mates and get rid of unnecessary things…I found my single glove from New Zealand.. tried it for size( it felt snug) …decided not to throw it(again!) . I found a recommendation letter a professor from undergrad in India had written while I was applying to graduate school …it was interesting to say the least .I’ve had to take recommendations from my NZ professors as well before coming to Alabama , and looking at one of the originals from India , just shows what a long journey it has been.

I saw my acceptance letter to school here, my social security application form (filled with the address of the people I was staying with when I first came.) and my tickets and boarding passes from when I first came to the US,

I did throw away a few papers ,but not much else ,which makes sense considering I’m such a packrat.

Three years worth of possessions move to Atlanta tomorrow.
