Moving Stuff

I've been packing for my move to a larger place this weekend. I can't believe that I've accumulated so many things over the course of my seven-year stay in the U.S.. To think that I started with just two suitcases of clothes, one computer and a few books. Now my 500 square-foot apartment is almost full. Four desktop computers, three boxes of computer stuff and electronics, nearly 300 books (including texts), five shelves ranging from knee-high to floor-to-ceiling one from Ikea. And on those shelves are yet more stuff. Quote of the week: Junk is something you've kept for years and throw away three weeks before you need it.
