Unpacked

I think I brought too much stuff! How does one person accumulate so much stuff in a matter of a few months?! I came to France in Dec/04 with one large and one small suitcase. Now what I have here could fill a U-Hall trailer. (OK, I'm exagerating a bit. But just a bit.) I now am the proud owner of a binder full of French notes, a huge French/English dictionary, at least a dozen other books, PILES of clothes, shoes, maps, souvenirs, pictures of France, DVD's and toiletries. Man, I'm going to have to FedEx some of this stuff home because it will never fit back into my 3 suitcases. Then again, maybe I should just leave some of it here. We'll see...in July, when I'm ready to move again... For now, I'm going to sit back and enjoy my own place, my own living room, my own tv, my own kitchen and my own bathroom. Sounds selfish, I know-- but after living with other people (either in dorms and sharing rent) for the past almost 10 years, I'm ready for a little "me space". Now, here's hoping I don't start collecting more things in this coming year....
