That Thing You Have To Do But Don't Want To: Packing

My time in Japan is coming to a close and I finally have to face the dreaded endeavor of packing. Currently, my room looks like a disaster zone. In one corner, my huge suitcase lays flung open, containing the presents I've gotten for everyone in their own separate bags (at least there exists some organization to the madness). In another corner, my sheets are calling to me to be washed. Another corner is my stacks of stuff that will be sent home in boxes (that I received from nearby convenience stores -- didn't have to buy them!). In yet another corner is my laundry that needs to be hung out to dry. And then the floor is scattered with random items and miscellaneous things that don't yet belong to a corner. I came to Japan with a fair amount of stuff, I leave with possibly too much. But I know that it is all worth it to bring it home, no matter what. I still have to find big enough boxes to ship my stuff in because the ones I currently have really won't fit everything. Basically I'm just looking for one box to put everything in instead of multiple boxes. Oh well. I will go on this quest after work today. And then I will spend the evening packing up the box (hoping I find a suitable one), and starting to pack my suitcases...oh joy.

Am I really leaving so soon?
