Packing to Relocate
One of my classmates sat with me today at lunch because her usual lunch group was at math assistance and told me this thing which was somewhat humourous but distressing:
Her family had gone to another state on vacation.
<They return.>
(Disclaimer: I made up these quotes.)
Her mother: "I just loved that vacation to 佛फ्लो羅रि里डा達州 (translation of state's name into two languages with alternating characters)! Here is good idea --- why do we not move there?
Think about it; we can start copy of our business there!"
Think about it; we can start copy of our business there!"
Some days later...
Parents: "We are relocating to 佛फ्लो羅रि里डा達州 to live in great beach house beside lovely emerald waters!"
<She and her brother think this is strange and sudden.>
House is to be up for sale shortly, so they must pack quickly and get into their .
They store half of stuff in day's worth of loading.
Classmate "CM": "Where is my toothbrush?"
Mother: "Oh, we have already put that into storage. We will get you new one."
Classmate thinks: "Okay? I am supposed to just not brush my teeth today...?"
---
Next day or so...
CM and her brother, along with their father, are carrying various boxes while mother rests on couch.
CM thinks: "She was one who wanted to move, so why is she doing nothing? Whatever --- these things are really heavy and I... am... so... tired..."
Prior to telling us this, she asked one of our counselors how she could complete her course plan and received advice which was better suited for someone staying in our state.
This story tells me that people can be quick to form conclusions and act impulsively.
Also, families seem to show a moving trend. Tons of people move here for economic opportunities; people move out to explore other opportunities, as this is an age of change which can either be boredom or interest.
