so this is it.

i've thrown away 7.9 bags worth of stuff/junk
i've given away another 5.6 bags worth of randomness (including new deodorant, floss, pictures from my apartment, american candy, and clothes that i can't take with me)
i've packed up 4 bags worth of winter gear, and future home stuff for when i return to china
i've packed up another 2 suitcases and a back pack of things to take with me back to america!


my apartment is pretty bare, empty, and pictureless.... VERY strange. i'm leaving an apartment that i've called home the past 2 years and a country that i've lived in, grew to love, and that's changed my life. thankfully, this isn't a total goodbye but more of a "see you in a year" kind of goodbye.

with all the dust flying around in my apartment i've caught a pretty bad head cold, not my ideal way of leaving but i know it's only through His strength that i'll be able to make it back in one piece! please think of me if you can!! thank you!
