I must admit though, I am finding it incredibly hard to leave things behind. Considering how long I have been mooning over going to University (probably getting on for 5 years now) I guess I thought the whole process would be a lot easier for me. So far I have sorted out my books, DVDs, toiletries, jewellery, pens, paper etc. and I'm struggling. Really struggling. I think the worst moment was taking all my posters of my wall. My room now looks like a shell of what is was and, evidently, who I am. I think removing these small keyhole peeps into my personality was actually harder than packing things away into boxes and storage crates. I know I have taken some of them down because they will be travelling down to Falmouth with me, but the next few days will be really weird sleeping there.
This is selection of books I have had to leave behind. I have had to take 9 books for my initial reading list as well as a dictionary, a quotes book, a literary dictionary, a selection of poetry and some novels that I either want to read desperately or I love to re-read. I would have loved to take more but we have been told we have to buy even more books when I get there and I just don't think I'd have the space :( I've not even started trying t my clothes out yet. I have no idea what to take at all because I can't work out what the weather is going to be like in Cornwall in September-December. Actually, that's kind of a lie. I have chosen which from my collection of knitted hats and scarfs I am going to take :)
I guess I'm not not quite as comfortable with this change as I was hoping I would be.
