packing?

on some good advice, i decided to update my blog instead of packing. funny...according to my sweet dashboard countdown i am leaving in 5 days. normally, this would not be so bad, however i have to manuever 19+ years worth of belongings into three suitcases no heavier than 70 pounds, keeping in mind that when i return i will have to do the same with 3 months of assorted trinkets as well. awesome. erb's visit last weekend was great...hopefully she saw enough of good old sd to entice her to move here after graduation. seriously though, other places are great but nothing is as fabulous as san diego. after seeing the good luck wishes for the rbv little league team on the avo's marquee, rocha and i agreed that sd has the community of a small town in the wonderfully boisterous city. and the temperate weather to boot. i mean i like big cities as much as the next girl but come on, life is great living 5 minutes from the beach. and we have the padres, the only team who manages to be in first place with a record less than .500. not much to brag about but hey we could be last. no wonder i don't want to pack, it means i'll have to leave another wonderful san diego summer behind. but all this being said i can't wait until my bags finally are packed and i head off to our nation's capital.
