Can I believe it? No, I definitely can’t. It seems like only yesterday (excuse the vivd memory that is about to start….) that Jason booked the tickets and set the date…September 15th 2007. Now it is only 3 days away and I must admit now having seen Amy that I am the most disorganised traveller yet. Miss McCulloch is packed and ready to go. Miss Mumford is still buying the necessities and sorting her sorry self out. I think Friday will be a bit of a crazy day!
It has been a sad few weeks though, saying goodbye to those people who mean so much to me. But as yet, I have not cried! Although I severely doubt that that will still be the case come Friday. Saying goodbye to Alex will undoubtedly be the hardest thing I have to overcome at this point. I just can’t imagine life without him. But I’m strong enough to cope and so is he. I have faith in us and hopefully that will be enough to see us through.
Amy arrived last Saturday and it was the most amazing feeling to see her. Introducing her to all my friends as well was wonderful as no one has ever met her. Introducing her to Jason as well was obviously a big moment – she jumped him. The poor boy was surprised to say the least.
My leaving party was a great night. Mainly for me I’m sure as I got to say goodbye to so many people, as well as drink and dance! There were many people who I wished were there who could not make it, but I guess the way to look at it is that I’m gone for 9 months, not forever. After dinner and food at mine, a bunch of us headed into Klassy Kingston and McCluskies – the chav hell hole of the south….well, Kingston at least. But you’ve got to love it. The music was good (Cowley – you loved it!), the alcohol was flowing and there was dancing…..oh, there was dancing! Needless the say, the next day we felt a tad worse for wear.
As the moment approaches however, I feel myself feeling ever more excited. The prospect of finally seeing what I have wanted to see for so long is slowly dawning, yet I can’t keep those pesky butterflies away. All I know at this precise moment though is that come Saturday evening I’ll be in a place far away from Sexy Surbiton. I’ll be on the adventure of a lifetime and I can barely contain my excitement.
