4 years of my life are currently sat against my bedroom wall, waiting to be packed away. Meanwhile, today is father's day and I wish nothing more than that I'd done this 2 weeks ago.

3 more bags of my apt now live in the trash can and I'm slowly eliminating all the clutter in my life over here. I threw out shoes today. Shoes. No joke. One of my closets is entirely empty and I'm not taking any prisoners with trashing stuff at this stage. Hannah visits Staten Island tomorrow so have a minor break in the trashing things routine then back to work.  Its a surprisingly nice feeling getting rid of stuff. And thanks to my awesome Britain friends I'm even more excited to go home.  Read Full Story
