Honestly, I don't think there is anything in the world that provides more of a challenge to someone who's method of organising their belongings is simply to remember where they put it in amongst the mess. My Aunt once referred to this systematic method as "organised chaos". Moving back to University is in fact such a challenge to people abusing this method simply because it involves packing. Packing everything you culd ever possibly hope to want in one house, but into small enough containers that it'll all fit into one car.
This would be difficult enough by itself, but then presented with the task of first sorting out all the items that you want to pack by finding them in your house and then organising them into appropriate boxes/suitcases/handbags/mountains of things, it becomes the hardest chore of your life.
I approached this task sensibly by making a list of things I want to take with me.
But of course, I forgot half of it.
So then I tried packing anything and everything.
But there was no logic to the system and I immediately forgot what I had or hadn't packed and got myself very confused.
Ultimately, there is no good way of going about it without spending 12 days preparing your belongings, so in the end I opted the "screw it." kind of attitude and just piled up everything I wanted to take with me.
I'll make it fit in the suitcase if I die trying.
