7 Days and counting!

Well I've hit the 7 day mark now! I honestly felt like it would never come and now it has and I'm pretty much prepared now I think. Just have to do all my packing on Sunday and then it's just a matter of getting through the last little bit of work and making it to the airport where my lovely travel companion will be meeting me, at a jade statue of some kind in the food court of the international flight area. Apparently this statue is famous and yet...I've never actually heard of it, I can't even remember the name of it!

In other news however I think I've got all my school stuff set up. It's a bit of a pain because my registration date is when I'm on holiday so my parents have to try and get me all signed up for everything so me and my dad spent about two hours working on my time table so that they would know what to sign me up for and when. So hopefully everything works out alright! We'll see what happens I suppose :)

Cheers!

10 Day Countdown!

Well folks, it's only a short ten more days until my butt is on a plane and off to Europe! I can still hardly believe it! I'm really proud of myself though I have to say, I never thought that I'd be able to pull this off so quickly I mean, I decided to do this trip not all that long ago, right around Christmas I think and here I am, all booked and ready to go. Well...not REALLY ready but I'm working on it! I only have a few more small things to get for my suitcase, a bit of money to exchange for some pounds and euros and just make sure that I have absolutely everything I need. So I'm thinking that doing a practice pack is in order so that I can see how everything is going to fit plus I'm hoping that throughout my trip I can keep my suitcase under 44lbs because I can't take it on the coach otherwise which would be a problem obviously! But yea, I'll be Europe bound very soon and I absolutely can't wait!!

Cheers!

Debt and Other Thoughts.

I have to admit, the idea of debt freaks me out! Haha, I'm so paranoid that I'll end up with some huge amount of debt after I get out of school and what not, so I tend to watch all those silly debt shows like Maxed Out and whatever the other one is.. I don't remember what it's called! I figure maybe if I watch them then I can try and keep myself prepared for the stage of my life when I'll be needing to avoid debt as best I can lol! I mean, I'm not awful with money but I'm not exactly good with it either! Maybe I'll get lucky and whoever I end up marrying will be good with money and make sure I'm kept in line!!

Apart from that I'm getting REALLY stoked for my trip and absolutely can't wait! Through the Contiki website I've managed to get in touch with a few of the other people on my trip which is kind of neat. I just picked up all my flight info an all my papers from Contiki and there was lots of really neat little things in there. Lots to look at for sure! I can't believe I finally get to go to Europe considering I've wanted to go since like the 8th grade! So yay!! But that's about all for now I suppose, I only have 9 more shifts of work left and I'm off! (16 more days!)

Cheers!
