...Before my world comes crashing down. Again.

In my lifetime (My age is very close to the number above...) I have lived in:

3 Different continents&countries
5 different states (Including outside of U.S.)
8 different houses

and moved internationally four times.

I have fifteen days before I move from Australia (Our residence for the past two and a half years) back to Tennessee.

THIS BLOWS.

Moving internationally is the worst. It has literally taken two years for me to be accepted into this social group, and we're* leaving. I expected it, though. That's how it always happens.

Let me explain: We move for my Mother's job. Not my Father's, I don't live with him. *It's just me, my Mother, and my little sister.

I'm leaving halfway through the school year, which I get to start over again. But I do get one month of summer vacation, so I'll spend it with Grandma down in Oxford, MD (It's a sleepy little seaside town. I'll get a job.)

This is really dreadful, honestly. It seems like a week ago we had six months left. I actually think I went through the stages of grief (I might be oversataing there, but oh well.) oddly.

Normal Person:
Denial and Isolation.
Anger.
Bargaining.
Depression.
Acceptance.

Me
Acceptance.
Anger.
Denial.
Bargaining.
Acceptance again.
Depression. (For me, this always happens after the move.)

I realize that this might not classify as grief, but it's a very drastic thing. I've been numb for awhile now I'll let ya'll know when I fianally cry about it.

I spent the weekend cleaning out my closet (Three piles, Charity, Keep and a trashbag.) So far I have a trashbag full, a box for Charity two third's full, and a shoe box full of stuff I"m keeping. (Aren't you PROUD?! Mother ussualy has to go through and throw all my suff out for me )

But the cleaning lady came today and she threw everything on my bed so she could vacuum D: It's all in a messy pile now, and I have to go back through and sort everything again. (But I'm not mad at her in the least. It's her job, after all. She didn't know. In fact, It was my responsibility to ask her not to vacuum in my room, and it's my fault.)

AND just so I don't get too whiney, here's a list of Pro's!

PRO'S
* We will be close to family again
* We are moving to a place we have lived before
* We visited during last break, and we picked out a house
* So we have a place to live, and it has gas/electric/heating/whathaveyou
* We have a bunch of furniture in storage
* We have FAMILY FRIENDS
* My sister is going to my old school I'm still friends with the librarian
* I got into a smarty-pants school (I'm excited to actually learn)

I'll add more as I think of them. I was home from school for four days because of exams/weekend, and I've just had to get myself home again because I'm sick D:

But hey. I finished my book (The Merlin Conspiracy by Diana Wyne Jones [Author of the book the Studio Ghibli movie Howl's Moving Castle was based off of.] They were both very, very good. I encourage you to go read her stuff!)

I'm going to start Moby Dick now .

Check out this cool chick!!
