Preparations

Filed under: — Jeff @ 5:33 pm

I'm running in circles. Four days left until I have to move out of my apartment, four days until I leave the country, and eight days until I arrive back home. Cleaning, packing, making arrangements to say my goodbyes to everyone. That last one has become more and more difficult, to the point where I have scheduled each one of my lunches and dinners for the past few days.

On top of that, I'm trying to do the following, all at once:

  • Buy parts for a new computer, through a credit card company and retailer in another country
  • Cancel my phone, internet (both ISP and physical line), gas, electricity, water, and bank account
  • Send all that money home
  • Pack 2 boxes for sending clothes and stuff home
  • Send said boxes
  • Figure out how to stuff everything else into my 2 suitcases
  • Clean the entire apartment tip to tail
  • Sneeze madly while doing the above, from the toxic amounts of dislodged dust
  • Get rid of all the excess junk I've accumulated over the years, along with several pieces of junk which were here when I arrived
  • Make arrangements to ship one of the boxes to be picked up after I come back from Korea, but before I have to board my flight home
  • Sell my car
  • Not forget important things like my camera, laptop, passport, or towel

    Welcome to real life! I would expire if it were not for impossible deadlines. I know you can make it. Have a great trip and say Hi to Ashley. See you when you get back!
