Give It Away

How do you pack up your life into two checked bags and a carry-​on?

Pack-​rat genes run in my fam­ily, so it’s par­tic­u­larly hard for me. I went around Davis yes­ter­day look­ing for a big card­board box to use, but I couldn’t find a good size one, so I went crazy and got a thirty gal­lon plas­tic tub from Wal­mart. The plan is that the desk­top and Wii go in there, padded by clothes. Then I pack my biggest duf­fel bag with more clothes. And the lap­top and a few books go into the backpack.

And that’s it of my old life. At least for a while. I might have some stuff shipped over later.

  1. i’ve always fig­ured that if i had to grab one thing out of my room in the case of a fire/​other dis­as­ter, it’d be my com­puter or at least my hard drive. i think what’s impor­tant to my life is stored on that hard drive.

  2. hey dinh!
    wish­ing you the best of luck
    .< *lame* but yay for big boxes at walmart!

  3. Good­bye Dinh! Sorry I can’t say it in per­son, a week­end short of going to Davis. Good luck with the move.
