Journal salimma's Journal: Packing my stuff 2

Flying back for the summer tomorrow, so I'm trying to finish packing up everything. There's so much stuff, things just accumulate - guess I will have to send some CDs, DVDs and books back once I return in autumn. Ah the bane of being a university student.

Granted, we're not even supposed to have the money to accumulate all this junk - ah well. Reminds me of this trailer for a British movie about students where a student was bemoaning the abolishment of student grants, then paid for his cocktail with a £20 note and told the bartender to keep the change

I dare say this is the best packing job I've done though. I started... err... two days before I have to move, and most of the expensive stuff is already safely stowed away at a storage company. yay! Obviously not the notebook which I'm carrying back. And no, I did not accidentally pack my passport or plane ticket in one of the boxes laying at the bottom of the trunk somewhere, either.

I'll keep you all updated as to whether Emirates still ban electronic devices. Not the laptop - 14.1" screen is too large to handle in economy class, but my Tréo communicator. Let's see if some stewardess would freak out upon noticing the antenna... fun, fun :P

    Be careful not to have too much fun. You might run amock of one of those "That terrorist has a toothpick and they're sticking it in their teeth menacingly" types that thinks you're trying to bring down the plane with your Treo.

      Well, not too far out - I think a Briton was arrested for refusing to switch off his mobile phone? Trying not to do that myself really...

      Right, time to pack my wireless access point and go offline then. Guess I'll take the wee hour train and get there early enough to book a nice seat by the emergency door :)

The game of life is a game of boomerangs. Our thoughts, deeds and words return to us sooner or later with astounding accuracy.
