In exactly 10 days from now, I imagine I'll be crying.

Most likely for one of two reasons; either because I'll be moving away from my family to a country where I know no one and nothing, or, because I had to leave half of my stuff behind due to the fact that it weighs over the 50 pound maximum weight! Who knew I had so much stuff!

I've been trying to pack up my room for four days now, and as far as my mom's concerned, it looks like "nothings happening." She feels as though I'm in "stall mode."  I feel like it just might be impossible to fit all of my belongings in my already 3/4 full suitcase.

On the plus side, I am going to Italy. So instead of packing my winter clothing, I've filled the space with shorts and mostly summer clothing which takes up much less space. Over the course of my packing up time period I've accumulated 2 full laundry baskets of clothing to give away and one giant bag of hair products/moisturizers/nail polishes/face wash/body wash etc. to give away. My sister is happy to get all of these things. The only problem is, once I'm gone, she likes to think that my room is also up to give away. And since it's painted in girly colours, she thinks she's first in line to get it.

... I am not a fan of this situation.
