wow, some of you are leaving reallly soon ..........

19 more days for me..so the practical and frugal side of me took over and i'm back to deciding to stay in this shit hole (work) for another week. I can't stop thinking but what if i need the money, it's another week or two in asia..it's more airfare..come on stay!!...so, obviously i'm going crazy...lol. Is anyone else having trouble deciding whether or not to stay that extra week/few days?? And more importantly, deciding against it?

The suspense is terrible, I hope it'll last.

same with me!! I've only told a couple ppl and those are the ones that i 'trust' . i just can't have it going around that i will be leavin. Especially since I plan on quitting mid summer. A big no no for hospitality! But it's hard not to tell anyone. Especially when they ask if I have another trip planned...lie lie lie!! FIVE MORE MONTHS FOR ME!!!

I am down to less than a month...going nuts. When I get too antsy, I just think of the more time I have with my GF until I leave.

6 days until I leave Holland... FOREVER...ish...and start my first proper backpacking adventure/ journey with no known end.
But I have to be packed and out of my bedroom tomorrow. So for the next week I am living in a kind of limbo. Hey, I've been living in limbo since I left school!

I still have 41 days... wait a sec... OMG only 41 days to go! Time went by too fast... And my lease expires May 3 instead of June 3 so I decided to move in with my boyfriend's mother until after I get back, which means I save about 600 bucks a month on bills/rent.... That is 600$$ I can spend in Europe woohooo. And I still have a ton of homework I need to do, as well as take care of bills and pack my house up and oh jeez, I do not have enough time to get ready. Well, this is how I am surviving the anticipation: no time to think about it!

66 days and I will be leaving Afghanistan to go home for R&R for 15 days! I am not going to make it I am so excited!!!!! We're doing Vegas for a week and after no drinking no fun no nothing since before I left in January, they will have to surgically remove the beer can from my hand when I go back again.

And then when I get back I am doing England & Ireland & Scotland, but I don't know when that's going to be. October maybe, It could be February... or it could be next summer. Ahhhhh
