I love being all set. Like Melanie Parker in One Fine Day, I want to be able to build a super hero costume from the contents of my purse. Or in this case, knapsack. I want to be organized for any situation. I want to have a snack available for those days when I forgot to eat as I hurried out the door. I want to have all my books, notes, and everything else I need for class. However, I need to be able to carry my rucksack without pushing a wheelbarrow. I found a technique that works well for me. I have a spot on the side of my work area that houses my books and supplies and school backpack Each night, I grab all the books and supplies I need for the following day and put them into my pack. Since mornings are a mess, I need this packed the night before. I make sure I have everything I need. I like to bundle homework that does not need to be done yet in case I find some extra time. Technology has made things more compact, so instead of a CD player and my folder of French CDs, I have loaded them onto my iPod, saving room and weight. As you pack your rucksack, look for things that you do not need and things that you wish you had. Decide what is required and what can wait until you get back home. Pack everything so you know where to find it and it is all safe and sound. Make sure you can tote it around on your back without the need for a chiropractor at the end of the week. And if you can still fit in that extra snack, youíll probably appreciate it later.
