Well, I finally finished up at work yesterday. It's a bit weird, becuase I thought I would be really upset.....but I wasn't. I was just void....I had no feeling at all. As I over analyse everything, it kept me awake most of the night just trying to work out why didn't seem to feel any emotion about it. The only conclusion I could come up with is that perhaps the whole trip thing hasn't actually hit me yet. It's as if I don't believe I will actually leave until I have gone.
Don't get me wrong, I am completely beside myself with excitement about leaving....however the idea of leaving my family and friends for an indefinite period of time hasn't really sunk in. It concerns me a little, because it either means I'm made of stone (which I know I'm not), or its going to hit me really really hard soon. As you can imagine, I'm not looking forward to the moment it all hits me....
I've felt myself getting worked up a little bit. Just about dumb stuff, which shows to me that I am little bit anxious about going. So its a nice mix of being anxious and excited...which is a pretty cool feeling. I've always found the weeks leading up to going somewhere is the best feeling in the world. All that excitement and preperation.....awesome...
It is also really mad to be able to say that in two weeks time, I will have landed at Sydney Airport and will be waiting to board my flight to Ho Chi Minh City....wow!!
All the guys at work gave me a really awesome card with some pretty funny messeges in it, and they did a collection and gave me $225 in cash. So that was awesome....thats like another 2 weeks travelling in south east asia!
I have my farewell party tonight at the pub, which should be good. Theres about 30 - 40 people going. Its a really shitty day outside, which means the pub shouldn't be overly packed. I should be enjoying all this bad weather, considering its about 34C in Phnom Penh in Cambodia at the moment....!!!!
Till next time...
Jess
