still messy ?!

I'm not sure if packing was supposed to create an entire mess of its own, but this is how organized my packing has been so far:

messy monday morning

It’s 3:05 am, Monday, May 07, 2007. And I’m fully awake looking at the mess I have created in my room. Unlike the usual mess from a hectic lifestyle, today’s mess is a result of taking my books of the shelves and deciding what to do with them: pack them away till my return, give them away, sell them back to the bookstore, sell them online, or simply dispose of them.

There seems to be a thousand and one things to do with my departure simply 5 weeks away. Pack the room, decide what stays in the U.S., what goes back home, or what goes in the trash. I’ve gotten a head-start so far. When I left Malaysia, I had one week to pack. I’ve still got a couple of weeks. That is, unless I procrastinate – which I am definitely not planning to do.

The birds are chirping outside and it’s 3:11 am. They’ve definitely got a head-start on the day. I believe I’ll take 40 winks – perhaps 40 and ½ so I can say I’m on break. And then I’ll hit the books.
