Packing for Erasmus

Packing for Erasmus, but this time I don’t really want to take anything with me. If I leave for 6 months or a couple of weeks is the same: i only need one week of clothing. Then it can be washed again and again. I notice the cardigan my grandmother knitted for me, the orange sweater I have since I was 18, the flowered dress I like to take to folk dancing. Shall I add them to the bag? I decide to take the sweater, as I keep wearing after all these years, and the flowered dress as well, as I plan to dance. These are the things I choose this time. 5 months seem really short anyway. And tomorrow I will think about drawing materials. I wonder If i take my ski jacket as well. Although there are no Mountaineers, I’ve heard they do cross-country over there. Suddenly the memora of the long, white flat fields. So many imagens come to my mind that I wonder how is it possible to feel so old and so young  at the same time. So many experientes lived, and so many expectations ahead. Yet, I feel extremely calm, there is nothing to place on my bag and, after all this, I feel a strange conforting feeling of coming back home.
