I have a little over 2 weeks until I leave. Within these two weeks, I will be packing two suitcases. Said suitcases appeared "big" until I pulled them out the other day and put a few items (a towel, a yoga mat, an adapter) into one of them. Holy cow. This is what I hope to fit in them:
Clothing - Bottoms (1 pair shorts, 3 jeans, 2 pants, 2 skirts), Tops (tshirts, sweaters, blouses, sweatshirt, fleece, trench coat), Dresses (3-4), Workout attire (2 gym shorts, 1 yoga capri, 2 sweatpants, tshirts), Pjs, Socks, Etc.
Toiletries - which originally included extras of brands I think I won't be able to get over there, but has since become "What Mom can send me later when I run out"
Accessories - 2 belts, 3 scarves, 1 pair gloves, 1 hat, jewelry, sunglasses
Shoes - This is tricky. Ideally, 2 pair flats, 1 pair heels, 1 pair slippers, 2 pair Keds.
All paperwork, my Bible, a laptop, camera, yoga mat, ipod, Oxford Guide to Literary England, and a hair dryer.
HA. HA. HA. There is no way, no possible way that I will fit all of this into these bags. Obviously there will be a serious reconsideration of what is "necessary" and what is "preference," but man, a girl's got to have some variety in her wardrobe! Oh well, at least for one year my mother won't be able to say "You wear the same outfits every week!" - this time, I'll have no choice.
Other than this technical difficulties, the excitement is building. In the meantime, I shall continue to justify my sleeping-in everyday and eating too much as necessary preparation for a year with little sleep and little money to spend on food.
