Packing and Pre-leaving for the Big Apple

So...I leave in 3 days for New York. I am looking forward to it, but am definitely a bit nervous--both about going and about getting ready. I've finally started going through all my stuff, and there's just so much. And I don't want to get rid of anything...but I have to. I think it will feel really nice though to have my life rid of so much STUFF. I just have to decide what I want to keep and what I want to get rid of and and then how to do that (thrift shop, selling, trash). sooo...obviously I'm taking a break from that to write. This weekend I took some time to just hang out, and went to Jordan Lake with my friend Amy from Chapel Hill/App. It was a good time, relaxing and a perfect day. But then now, life is all work. So I'm gonna get back to that. But I just wanted to give an update--Thursday, August 14th at 10am, I'll be on my way to New York City.
