Dios mio, packing es dificil!

First post...ever. Don't worry, there will be many more to come.

I am not in Barcelona yet, but I only have 5 more days until I leave! I wanted to create my blog before I left so I wouldn't have to waste time when I get there. So I am sorry if this post is boring. Consider it a practice run for the rest of my posts.

Right now I am at home; packing, studying for the GMAT, babysitting my little brother, Matt, cooking, cleaning, etc. I guess you can say it is pretty hectic around here. I took the advise of a wise friend, yes Laura I am talking about you (thought you would like that), and decided to start packing a week before I leave. Well, it is harder than I thought it was going to be becauase:

1. I have so many clothes
2. I overpack as it is so I am trying to downsize
3. I can only bring two suitcases of 50 lbs each
4. I have to pack clothes for summer, fall AND winter
5. My books and bathroom junk weigh a TON!
6. I can't decide what shoes to bring
7. My cat keep jumping in the suitcase

I have thought about not bringing any clothes and going on a shopping spree once I get there, but decided that would not be the best financial decision. Any advice? I need help...as you can tell!

Besides packing, I have been studying for the GMAT, which is standardized test for business students. In order to apply for graduate schools, I need to take it. I take that on Saturday at 8am. Wish me luck!

Thats all for now...
