I moved to Omaha 6 months ago. Not only is it crazy that I've been working at PSI for 6 months, I also can't believe that I never fully unpacked my belongings in Omaha. That (probably) means one of two things: 1.) My I-can't-believe-I-just-completed-my-eighteenth-year-of-school hangover never fully ended (i.e. lethargy); or 2.) I don't need this crap.
I'm hoping for the latter.
A few months ago, Kevin sent me an article from the New York Times about how recession-induced minimalism has, unexpectedly, made people happier. In other words, the less stuff you own, the happier you become. When I moved to Omaha, I de-junked my life majorly, and I plan on doing the same before I leave for Austin. Even then, I have trouble packing, because I use (almost) everything I own on a daily basis. I can genuinely say that owning fewer 'things' has made me a happier person, if not simply because I have fewer 'things' to pack.
Shoes, though--there's something I might have trouble giving up.
