Packing

[dreamcatcher284]

So call me obsessive compulsive, but I've already started to pack two weeks before I'm due at Caltech. It's not the first time I've packed, but doing it for a holiday is completely different from packing to leave home for good. It's quite amazing to find out how much stuff I've amassed. I've already got two boxes, a suitcase, and a duffle bag practically filled, and I haven't even packed a pillow. There's so much that I want to bring (I wish I could just transport my entire room), but at the same time, I'm always afraid that I'm taking too much stuff with me. The book that Caltech gave us said that we should bring books, posters, and stuff like that, but how much do I take without either making the dorm too impersonal or too crowded?
