think that it's all gonna slip away

i started packing today. i know i'm a packrat, but some of the stuff i found today made me think i'm craaaazy. i have stuff from freshman year that i haven't seen since then in boxes under my bed. things like the ugly sign from my dorm door that fell apart over thanksgiving break and should be thrown away, or my ticket stubs from movies i saw that year. yeah, those can go.

on the other hand, this might be the most organized pack job i've ever done. i've got a 45-gallon tub, two suitcases, and two more tubs sitting in the lower level living room right now. that's about 3/4 of the stuff in my room that doesn't include furniture, entertainment items, or stuff i still need for school. in other years, i've ended up with trash bags full of stuff i shoved in them because i either put off packing or didn't have enough storage items to haul everything. my dad looooooved those days...

and i need to go car shopping, because a) i'm graduating college, and b) my lovely tracker is being passed down to the recently-became- a-legal-driver-and-therefore-everyone-should-watch-out sister. i'm thinking the mazda 3 or the new chevy malibu. any thoughts or opinions would be appreciated. i just need something that gets me at least 30 mpg, has an automatic transmission and a sunroof, and comes in a black or dark gray color. that's all i care about. dad's been calling me nonstop about this; i'm supposed to "tell [him] what [i] desire in terms of features and add-ons" - like i care. sheesh.

okay... i have to, have to, have to finish this paper so i can bask in the humor and humiliation that could possibly occur on the bachelorette tonight. i am definitely stoked!
