Lists, Lists, Lists

It's becoming more and more apparent that moving is extremely expensive and extremely time-consuming.  It's hard because not only am I moving out of my parent's home for the first time, but I'm moving to an island that is a 5 1/2 hour flight away. I have never had any bills, any laundry (I know this is shameful), any major cleaning to do and I'm realizing how lucky (and spoiled) I've been living at home. It's time for me to grow up and handle different responsibilities. While it's all very exciting, it's also terrifying.  Here's just a snippet of the things I have on my "To-Do List:"

1. Find a place to live (this in itself is really hard because I am not at all familiar with the island, having never been, so I'm unsure as to which areas are nice, safe, and convenient)
2. Talk to moving companies about packing and shipping my belongings
3. Talk to a moving company about the cost to ship my car
4. Take a drug test
5. Get my cat tested for rabies (this was $300...ridiculous)
6. Buy everything new. Living at home I only had my bedroom furniture. Now I have to furnish a bathroom, a kitchen, and a living room as well. Did I mention with no money?
7. Sell some of my belongings I don't want or need to take with me
8. Fill out numerous employment verification forms
9. Get tested for TB
10. Learn how to pump up tire pressure, do laundry, dye my own hair, iron, clean carpet...basically become domesticated

 This is a seriously condensed list of things I need to get done or am in the process of doing. There are many other items on my agenda but quite frankly I can't even remember them all. This is all while some major life-changing events approach: four weeks until graduation, three weeks until the end of my undergraduate career, two weeks to my 21st birthday, one week til Thanksgiving (and more importantly Black Friday - and  yes, this is considered a life-changing event).

I am sooo tired all the time. I need rest! With so many things on my plate right now, I would love nothing more than to slow down. But I just don't have the time.
