Packing for Retreat

As I begin to daydream about my senior retreat, starting next monday, i release I still haven't packed. Well, I have had people tell me that they are waiting until Sunday night to pack, and I can't understand how they can do it, that impulsively? What if you need something thats in the wash? They can't wash, dry and iron it overnight, can they? Then there are those that pack two or three weeks in advance, this is hard for me to do as well. Probably due to the fact i wear alot of my key pieces alot, and so this would prevent me from wearing particular pieces, and also because in that few weeks, you bound to shop, buy something new, that you will want to take, but sadly, can't fit.

I, myself, have choosen to start packing tonight, as it is fresh in my mind. I will compile a list first of what i need, such as toiletries, 3 sets of clothes, shoes, etc. Another list will then be created with this list at the basis. The clothes will become, 3 shirts, 3 jeans, 3 jackets, etc. And just before I physically start packing my suitcase i will of course write down exactly what shirts, jeans, jackets, etc, i will pack. Saving it for the week before going, should be fine, as i wont be shopping, as much, and there is a lower risk of me buying something i will want to squeeze.

Now, to physically pack the suitcase, i will begin with what items i know i will not wear the the next few days. These items are obviously not my ugg boots or my jeans, but rather my shirts, jackets and shoes. Over the next few days i will add to my suitcase with what i have washed, dryed and ironed since the last instalment. Finally the morning of retreat i will add to it my toiletries.
