Packing Extravaganza!

The day of departure is upon us! (well, the day before the day of departure, and it's upon me, not so much you guys)...

Tomorrow morning, I shall be rising at 4:00am. Man, just thinking about it makes me tired! I want to be at school by 7:00am, and taking into account that it's a 1.5 hour drive, and that fog likes to hang around the area that I need to drive through, I shall be leaving home around 5:00am, to give myself ample time to get there.
It's lucky that this weekend is a long weekend, and that I've been able to sleep in for 3 days in a row, cause if history is anything to go on, I won't be sleeping much tonight! I have this annoying 'knowing I have to get up early' side effect which makes me so worried about sleeping in, that I wake up numerous times to check the clock. It also takes me ages to get to sleep, I reckon my body is like 'I know you need to get to sleep, but I'm the boss 'round these parts, and I ain't gonna let ya! Take that ya filthy varmint!'. Man, my body can be mean! Anyway, you get my drift.

I have packed up a tonne of stuff, and half of it has been packed into my car. Currently, I have a clothes horse full of washing that I'm trying to get dry, and that's the last of the clothes. I have taken way too many clothes with me, I already know, but I guess not knowing when I'll next be back in Brisbane means that I do need to take enough to cover me for a few weeks (that was an accidental pun, but I'm impressed with it!) :)

Guess what I did yesterday? No guesses? Ok, I'll tell you...I bought an iron! This is my first iron purchase, and I spent a very long time staring at them blankly in BigW, having no idea what a 'good' iron was, and how much 'constant steam' was necessary. I settled for a Philips cause it said something on the box about it being 'the world's most trusted brand' and it's statements like that that make me buy things. I mean, the world trusts it, that's a pretty big group of people. Plus, it was on special, which is another reason behind why I buy things.

This purchase means that I have gone my whole adult life without ironing anything, true story. Actually, not entirely true. I haven't ironed anything since I've been in Brisbane (2 and a bit years so far), but prior to that I just borrowed my house mate's iron, or ironed a tonne of stuff at mum and dad's. I figured though, since I have a proper job now, I should probably care a bit more. I do despise ironing though, so I will continue to avoid it as much as I can...So the saying goes: you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. Am I right? I know I'm not the only person out there who rarely irons.

Anyway, I'd better get back to BigW, there's a few things I forgot to get yesterday which I need before tomorrow.

Hope you're all enjoying the Queen's Birthday! I might get Subway for lunch, in her honour...I'm sure she eats a lot of Subway...
