Before you ask, I'm not on the way out the door yet. I just don't want to have anyone else have to oversee the boxing up of my things. Partly because that's just one more thing that someone would have to do on their day off that they don't want to do and partly because I have a specific way that I like to pack my stuff.
You never realize how much stuff you've amassed until you start putting it into boxes. Before you know it you've filled all the boxes that you moved in with and there is still stuff laying about. That's exactly what happened this time. I really don't think that there are a whole lot of things that I've purchased since I've been here. But whatever those things were, they seem to take up a lot of space.
The movers came yesterday to pack up my things. I didn't know how exactly the whole thing was supposed to work, so I had already packed everything myself. It all came out to 12 or so managible boxes, neatly stacked and ready for transport. They showed up with their own, much larger boxes, and all the other packing materials they would need to pretty much pack my room from scratch. I'm still glad that I did the initial packing though or I would have been here all day watching them tenderly wrap my things in paper. So in go my small, managable boxes into their larger boxes. My boxes of clothes were unpacked and paper wrapped and then stuffed unbetween the boxes as padding. They incountered a problem with my computer and monitor. The boxes weren't big enough on their own to hold the computer box and the monitor, so they made a bigger box. They taped up the sides of the first box and then slid another box down on top of it. Genious!
I ended up having them pack up more of my stuff that I wasn't sure what to do with. Now my room is as barren as it was when I got here. Just two weeks of clothes and some uniforms. And my laptop of course. I'm still waiting on that visa though.
