Can you please tell me where did the time go? With my last post, I still had over a week's worth of time to kill, and now I feel as though my life is a ticking time bomb that's about to go off at any time. I've been looking forward to this day for over 8 months, and now that it's finally here, I'm shaking with trepidation and anticipation. 11 hours till take-off. This is bizarre, almost unreal. For the first time in my life, I'm leaving my family and friends behind to go on an adventure in a land I've never been to before, with people I've never seen before in a language I know very little off (aside from various food items, I know absolutely nothing).
Two of my room mates have kindly offered to pick me up at a nearby train station so I don't get my little Asian ass lost in the crowd of tourists on the first day there. I hope they're not creepy rapists. Otherwise I'm screwed.
This past week has been one of the best weeks I've spent in Vancouver. It was filled with birthday, CNY, going away celebrations. And on the off chance that I did have some time off, I was busy running errands getting things for my big trip. I think all this joyous time will make leaving Vancouver that much harder. I couldn't wait to get out of this city in December but when you're having the time of your life, it really changes things. Leaving my beloved friends and family to go to a land of unknown strangers is going to be a difficult task. But I'm sure I'll overcome it :)
I'm a big girl now.
The next time you hear from me, I might be a fluent Italian girl. HA.
