why does packing take so long?

i always seriously underestimate how long it takes me to pack. when i was packing to move to toronto, the night before leaving, i literally did not sleep. i was packing all night. but that was packing up my life to move to a different city. tonight, i'm just packing for a 6 day visit back home, and yet, it is still taking me way longer than i imagined. to my defence, i didn't get home from work until 11 pm.

i guess it doesn't help that i started talking on the phone when i got home instead of packing. but it was long distance, so i couldn't really cut that short. i'm pretty much done now, except for the little stuff i still need to use in the morning, but there's only about 2 more hours until i have to wake up and get ready to leave, so i might as well not sleep.

nothing better to pass time than watching some OC episodes.
