getting ready...

wow, i cant believe that im leaving soon! all of my friends just came home from college and im leaving in a few weeks. im getting really excited though. i still have to weigh all of the stuff that ive bought so far so i can figure out how much i can bring in cloths. im starting to get the feeling that all of my cloths are going to have to go in my carry on :) this trip is going to be killer for me since im such an over packer. ill stay at a friends house overnight and bring three outfits and a backpack full of stuff. this time i can only bring 44 pounds in my carry on for 6 months :/ yikes! ill try to post my packing list soon so i can get some input as to things i forgot or that maybe i dont actually need to bring. i could use the help.
