With 2 days to go things have got a bit manic here. Luckily I did most of my packing throughout the week so can have a bit of time to chill out before Tuesday. The past week I've been saying bye to people. It's really hard, because I don't think it's quite sunk in that I'm not going to see people for a whole year. It feels like I'm just going for a couple of weeks then coming home again.
It's a weird feeling right now, like starting a new school combined with Christmas and going on holiday. It's very surreal. I think it'll sink in when I print my boarding pass tomorrow. Need to tidy my room up a little bit and leave things for mum to sort out or bring with her when my family come out at Christmas.
What I find most strange is that it's hard to know what it's actually going to be like out there. It's not like starting a job where you've seen the work location or been there for interview or an open day, everything's going to be so different even from what I've seen on the internet! I've heard good things from the people I met at interview who are already over there, so I hope it lives up to what they have been telling me!
I can't believe it's been 8 months since I interviewed- I walked past the Waterloo Chez Gerrard the other day and it made me think that my whole "journey" (to use a particularly bad reality TV phrase) started there. Actually, it started in my bedroom at xmas, when I wrote CV/cover letter...
Anyway, I better get off my computer and go and start making my last ever Sunday night tea...for a year! Hopefully I'll have time for a quick post tomorrow before I head across the pond!
