The Process of Moving

Well, we're moving out of the apartment at the end of our lease as we're planning to be out of the country for two months. I'm now in the process of packing up stuff. We already sent some boxes of books and clothes home, and about a third of the living room floor is now covered with more boxes of non-necessities. Nidhal always was annoyed that I saved the boxes from everything, but I bet now he's changed his tune a little. They are coming in quite handy. I moved into this apartment with almost nothing. I think I had a beanbag chair, a computer chair, some plates, and plastic set of drawers when I first moved in. Now we have so much stuff that we want a bigger apartment. I first bought the couch and the mattress and then later the large bookshelf. I think all the other furniture in the apartment was free, which is pretty impressive... desk, entertainment center, four end tables, bookshelves, two tables, six chairs, dresser, and a nightstand... all either generous donations or old stuff from my parents' house. ANYWAY, all the stuff on the floor now is either hardly or not ever used or seasonal. And we've only made a small dent in our collection of possessions.
