Starting Off Shipping Off

Okay.
So here goes the blogging.  This blog is being created to entertain myself in the little free time I plan to have in college.  It also serves as a medium to record the the millions of possessions I will probably lose, misplace, stain, or destroy throughout my first year of college.  Therefore, it will probably show my loved ones that despite the fact the college is a transformative experience that will allow me to grow academically and emotionally, I will still lose my jacket, hair brush, and/or every single one of my hair-ties every year no matter my age or academic achievements. 

I've got about two weeks until I head up to Ithaca with a van packed full of my possessions (and some various possessions of my sister's that I manage to finagle away before she leaves this Saturday).  Therefore, this is crunch time.  The dorm shopping spree is complete!  We (being my family and I) have already made a Walgreen's checkout employee gape at us in disbelief!  We have purchased semi-warm clothing to survive New York winters!  What more could there be to do? Well, somehow, somehow, we will have to pack it all up, and then realize that we have to buy a zillion more things.  Also, it's goodbye times, and I have to spend some quality time with the people I will miss the most!  With my family, we got a great start with the ten-hour bonding session that was the ride home from Boston.  It involved hail.  With my friends, it will probably involve Chipotle, brownies, chick flicks, and a few kitchen dance parties.

And that will be just perfect.
