It's difficult. The crazy thing is, I'll be in Hong Kong for winter, all of spring, and the beginning of summer. So not only is most of my space taken up by coats, boots, and sweaters (it can get to 25 degrees F at night in the coldest part of winter), but I also have to take shorts, swimsuits, and sandals. My mom managed to barelty zip my suitcases shut. I can't forget I'm going there mainly for school (it's "study" abroad right?) so I packed my backpack, laptop, some notebooks, and pens.
You don't realize how helpful and caring your parents are, until you are faced with two empty suitcases, a closet full of stuff, and 3 days till you leave the country. I was so close to breaking down. I want to go, but I don't want to leave. My dad has been cutting me fresh fruit and coming home earlier from work to spend time with me, my mom has been making endless to-do lists and and stuffing me with rotis, my favorite sabzis, and daal. Even my brother poured me a glass of apple juice without hesitation. I'm gonna miss these people.
