Moving is the pits

Much as I'm devastatingly sad to be leaving Seattle, I'll be relieved to be done with the *moving* thing.

I am absolutely appalled at the amount of stuff I've accumulated over the past few years. This afternoon I found posters that I bought the summer before I went to college. Six years ago. Why I've been toting them around since, I'm not sure. Also, do I really need to haul a liter of book glue back to Denver with me? [apparently: I packed it.]

And where does all this dust come from?!

Also realized that I drive a two-door Echo. And that my dad and a bag of his are coming with us on this drive. It's just not all going to fit. I'm trying to think of it as being good practice for winnowing all my stuff down to 80 pounds for the next couple of years. But mostly I just think of it as being a terrible chore.

creo que se exactamente lo que sientes, salir de un lugar que conoces para ir a uno del q a penas sabes algunos datos, no sólo es emocionante, sino q tambien te llena de expectativas.

Hi Anna!

Ruth has given me the link to your blog. I hope it's ok if I keep reading about your life in Ethiopia! you've got an exciting time ahead of you! it's a bit scary, and at the same time I admire you so much for doing good.
I wish you all the best!
