Packing can be so difficult. I mean, you don't want to underpack and forget something, but you don't want to overpack and be carrying around things you don't need, either.

And sometimes, there's things you want to take with you just because. You know, the sentimental crap. I'm trying not to do that too much, but there are certain things that HAVE to come. (Like my Teddy!)

I'm starting to get really nervous about my trip now. Will I be able to find a flat? Do I have enough money saved up? Will I be able to do everything I need to by myself? Will I find a nice boy to bring home with me? Is there anything I'm forgetting? What if they don't have *insert item here* in England? Am I sure I can do this alone? ...and so on. It's probably just useless worry, but I get that way sometimes. But Jeremy isn't around to calm me down when I do, anymore.


Planning to get more of that packing done today. It's kinda weird, because a lot of the things I need to pack are basically "essentials" that I use everyday, yet I find myself able to pack some of them anyway. I guess mostly things I have extra of. Like towels. And my fall/winter clothing since I'm still mostly wearing summer clothes. I'm packing the good stuff and just using my extra for this month before I go.
