Since I have arrived Columbia University, I have been living off my suitcases. I only have 46kgs/100lbs luggage allowance, so I really don't have much. I have been very creative, e.g. using my nail clipper and only super size knife as scissors in various occasion, using double size tape to seal bags of food, using towel as blankets, etc. I didn't even have any pants nor hangers. After freezing for couples night, I finally gave in and get myself a throw.
Two weeks later, I received my package that was supposed to arrive before my arrival. It was almost pain-taking to looking at the amount of "stuff" I have. I was used to living simple. Facing so many choices, life suddenly became complicated. Picking out clothes to wear is a pain. It was so easy having only one fall jacket. And what am I going to do with two pillow and three blankets on my twin bed? Nevertheless, it is nice to have my comforter and Phillip again.
Two weeks of simple living proves to me that I can indeed live without many things.

Yes! Thanks for blogging again. It's nice to know that someone else is getting creative with only a few possessions. But you can't put a price on Phillip . . .
