Such a hard decision

Should I use the big old suitcase or the sturdy newer backpack?
The backpack looks nice, but doesn't hold as much stuff. Then again, I'm not bringing that much with me. If I take the big one I might be tempted to bring more than I actually need, but if I can't fit everything in the backpack then I'll have to take two bags. Perhaps I should bring two bags instead of one, cause then I could put my clothes in one, and everything else in another.

Hmmm. I should take my physics book with me so I can get a head start on that. Maybe I should take the biology book too. If I take them I won't have time to read them, but if I don't take them, I'll wish I had. What about my sketch book? I really would hate to loose it or have it get all messed up. Should I bring any reading books, or will I not have time for those? The camera will definitely be coming with us, but I kind of scares me to think of accidentally loosing it. :o

Which shoes should I take? My hiking boots? Those might be a little too heavy to wear while canoeing, but hiking tennis shoes isn't that fun. I can't bring both my tennis shoes and my hiking boots. I'll have to bring my new shoes for Sunday, and to wear around Hope, and then flip flops for showering, and Mom said to also bring some nicer shoes just incase. Yikes! That's already four pairs of shoes.
