Closing sale!

Stress has started to set in. Not because I’m leaving in 56 days, but because my apartment has not changed. It sounds weird, but coming home everyday from work and seeing all my stuff still in its rightful place or, more accurately, scattered everywhere, makes me realize how much I have to do in such a short period of time.

That being said the time has come to buckle down and cleanse myself of my earthly possessions. Sounds a bit drastic, but I really need to start going through and purging my apartment of the things I’m not taking to Australia. It’s a bit scary, and I’m sure once I start seeing things go I’ll be sad and the reality of me leaving will set in, but for now I’m actually kind of excited. Obviously, I won’t be getting rid of everything. I know my dad would prefer me to do so because he doesn’t want me to bring anything home, but there are some things I just can’t part with. Things like artwork and a piece of furniture here and there that Barbie girl wants to keep.

Craigslist is where I’m going to start. I figured it will be one of the easiest ways to clear out everything without having to donate it all. Donation will happen, but why not try to make a little money first right? If anyone has other suggestions, bring them on I’m open. Do not be surprised if emails come your way with other things needing to go. Also, if you’ve had your eye on something of mine and you are thinking you want it, now is your chance to tell me, otherwise it could be gone. All in all, everything must go!!

  3. Bonnie, you can have whatever you like. If you want my car, its yours! I'll just pack it in my suitcase for you.

    Connie, I'm going to make a cardboard cutout of my face that you can wear around whenever you like!

    Cade, you would want "Love Actually".
