Why I am (Sometimes) Stupid and So is Packing

A clarification on the title, packing is in reality, almost always stupid. Packing for college is very different than packing for a long trip. For example, I spent a month as an exchange student in Japan last July. You would think packing for a month long trip would be fairly similar to packing for a new residence, except the latter would be on a larger scale. If you did think that, you would be horrendously INCORRECT. There's something totally different about trying to pick up your entire life and squeeze it into half of a 13' x 15' room.

So now, moving on to why there is a little hedgehog of shame, seen above. I have a list of stuff categorized as "To Find" and one of those things was my camera charger. It seemed a simple enough task. I knew that I had brought it back from Colorado, so by process of elimination, I knew it lurked in my house. This would seem to be no problem, except that my house eats things. I recruited help in my search, but to no avail. Neither of us could find it. And then, about 30 minutes later, I decide to check the box I had designated for electronics. Of course, I had already packed it away in the appropirate space, but for reasons unknown, it materilized on my list. Ah, well.

There's also a hurricane coming towards me. Hoo-rah. Hopefully I'll have electricity...
