Packing and moving are two of the worst things in the world. As a college student living in campus housing, you move every 8 months. This really should prevent the accumulation of too much junk, but Kathryn and I prove that wrong. I have so much junk that I only kind of need.

I am writing this update now while Becky is packing up her room. She even has to think more about what to keep because she is not just leaving things in storage, but will soon be off to Omaha.

Packing has been especially difficult this spring because it has forced me to think 16 months into the future. Study abroad has made me very excited, but I am also very scared. Packing was the last thing I had to do before it was me officially leaving school and my friends for the year.
