Standing room only!

So I've finally started to sort through all of my stuff so that I can start packing. Last night I drove by a Kroger and got some boxes and then I came home ready to work.

I sorted through my coat/storage closet last night and have already managed to take a load of stuff to the Goodwill for donation. There are boxes everywhere, stuff everywhere and my place is now in total disarray.

Did I mention that I HATE moving/packing?!?! I stayed in my old apartment for 6 years just to avoid the ordeal of moving and now I am doing it again a year later. Not to mention I hate mess so the fact that my house is completely cluttered is driving me mad. It will all be worth it in the end right?!

Now I understand why people pay movers to do this stuff. Packing is stressful and strenuous. My back kills! At least I can count packing as my daily exercise! I swear I have been on my feet for at least 5 hrs straight today. I am going to think of packing as calorie burning from now on! When I think about it that way I'm at least mildly excited about it. LOL

Tonight I did the same thing all over again. This time I started in the kitchen. OMG! Why do I have so many tupperware containers?! I guess it's from all those times I go to someone's house and bring food home. I am sure most of them are also from everytime my grammy cooks and sends food for me from the Bahamas.

Ok time to pack my car up for my second trip to my neighborhood Goodwill. All of these things I can't use/take with me I am donating so that someone can. It makes me feel better than these perfectly good items aren't going to waste. Purging while helping someone else in need puts a smile on my face. On that note off to pack the car and then get some rest.

C'est la vie in Tel Aviv!

I decided to begin blogging after a friend of mine suggested it when I announced I'd be leaving Atlanta, GA after 9 years and move to Tel Aviv, Israel for grad school. This will be a way for my friends and family to see what I'm up to and keep in touch with me. For those that know me best I don't think they were surprised by my decision to move to Israel. I'm a pretty adventurous girl and I'm always up for taking the road less travelled. I consider my decision to move to Israel an act of divine intervention. For the past couple of years Israel has been at the top of my travel list, along with a few other countries in the Middle East. Also, I went back to school last summer after 4 years in public accounting. I decided that it was time for a career change. I wanted to work with children and I have lots of interest in psychology so I went back to complete my bachelors degree in psychology. I actually turned in my last assignment for the completion of my requirem...

Stress Kills!

Earlier this year one of my professors said something in class that has stuck with me ever since. She said that people usually find psychology because they are trying to understand themselves. We usually are trying to understand a problem that we've defined in our own lives rather than something that we specifically see or want to understand about others. This statement was an "Ah ha" moment for me, as Oprah would say. I really began to reflect on if this was true for me and it definitely was. My interest in psychology was very personal. I didn't grow up in what would be considered a normal family structure and growing up it led to some internal struggles for myself that I eventually had to learn to come to terms with and become aware of and face as best I could. I'm specifically interested in stress and anxiety disorders. I am really interested in the effects on children. Growing up I felt alone in trying to understand the areas of my childhood that I didn...
