Packing

Before hitting the hay last night, I started packing some dishes and other things into the many boxes I got from Wal-Mart. Jake went to get them with me Saturday night around 11 pm which is when they are re-stocking, and he was embarrassed to be seen with me because I was pushing a shopping cart around and loading empty boxes into it, just snatching whatever good-sized boxes I found right from under the stockers' noses. Hehe. I still need more though. I never know how much stuff I have until I pack it all. Sheesh.
I woke up at 8:45 this morning (on my own!) after a good night's sleep, and began packing again. I got lots more dishes packed, along with some things from my room and decorative things. Jake came by and gave me a ride to campus so that I could collect a bunch of newspapers. I took a bunch of New York Times and a good stack of the campus paper. Hey they're free if you're a student! I think I may have taken advantage of the free-ness though...
I took a few things to the storage unit, which was mighty dusty! The wind lately has forced dirt under the garage-type door to the unit, and just spending two minutes there putting the things in, I felt all this dirt in my teeth. Gross, I hate that. So looks like I'll need to do some dusting and vacuuming of items when I unload yet again in the fall.
I am quite proud of myself for getting a lot packed (even though it seems like there is still so much left). I just got back from visiting Jake for a while, making him take a break from his studying. Tomorrow I still don't have a final, so I'll likely spend more time packing, and I think I'll go to the pool for a while. Then I have to get back to studying, which will be hard because I've already gotten used to not having anything school-related to do the past day and a half. I don't think I need to study too much, though. The study guide I have seems pretty simple and straight-forward, and I know the material really well. Plus, I've done well on the other two tests in that class.
I think I'll go to the gym either tomorrow or Thursday afternoon, then make cookies for when my family comes this weekend. I'm taking Jake to Cold Stone Thursday night to celebrate the end of the semester! Yum! Sweet cream with raspberries is my favorite ice cream combination there. You should definitely try it sometime. The ice cream tastes like butter (in a good way) and with the raspberries, it is simply scrumptious.
