1 week......

Ahhhhh how exciting, only one week to go. I have bought my camera, mmm a lovely canon SLR, injections are now finished, been to the dentist, the hair is cut short (so much easier to manage, and hey it will grow back!), still plugging away on assignments, tax return to do, uni applications to do, packing to do, sooo many farewell lunches/morning teas/afternoon teas to go to.

There is nothing like a good bit of stress to make you look forward to a nice holiday to calm the nerves.

Going away party/25th Birthday

Seeing as I am going away for several months, and I managed to achieve the milestone of 25 years, I decided to have a party to celebrate, and to see friends and family before I left.

I also had a rather large bottle of wine from the year I was born which needed to be drunk before it turned into vinegare. From all accounts from those who drink and enjoy red wine, it was a lovely bottle.

Thank-you very much to everyone who came to wish me well, I hope you all had a good night, I enjoyed it very much.

Going, Going......

No not gone yet, but the hair has. I decided that it would be nice to go overseas with short hair, as there is less chance of it being ripped off by a lion that way (well thats my excuse and I'm sticking to it), and it will be easier to manage. So I took the plunge, visited the hairdresses and got all my hair chopped off. The first cut is the hardest, after that there is no turning back, and nice and easy!

2 weeks....

The anticipation is now growing, 2 weeks, and I will be on my adventure!

Accommodation in Ireland and London is now booked-at least I now have somewhere to stay! The list of possible places to visit continues to grow. Camera is organized.

Dare I say so, but things are finally falling into place! As they say famous last words!!

3 weeks....

Where does the time go!?!?!?! 3 weeks left, 2 Monday night shifts, 3 Tuesday night shifts, 3 Thursday nights and 3 Friday nights, thats only 11 nights left to work-how very exciting! Vaccines are now complete, pending a blood test which will tell if I need one last rabies shot somewhere in Europe, fingers crossed I dont. Must buy a camera soon, and the lens to go with it, hopefully next week, then I can play with it before I leave. Complete the last couple of assignments, and then think about packing. All I need is time!!!

4 weeks........

Eeeek, Yay!!!!!!! I have reached the 4 weeks to departure. Yes it is kinda exciting, kinda scary, coming very quickly, and very exciting. It is always so amazing how many things there are to be dont before you go away. I am slowly getting organized, still have some study to do, I really should finish that soon so I know I have passed before I go away, more injections, doctors appointments, packing, organizing, sorting out of affairs (yes there is a chance I may get eaten/shredded/torn apart or otherwise killed).
