Packing.


I just dug out my luggage, and I'm now sitting here staring at it wondering where to start. This is kind of overwhelming... Six months is a long time to pack for, I cant think that far in advance at what I will want/need. I also still haven't checked with the airlines about the baggage limits so I really hope that I can take two things of luggage. If I cant I will have to have half of my stuff mailed to me and that's no fun. I'm also super nervous about the people I will be living with. I'm really curious about what they will be like... Will they be like me? Will they be tree huggers? Will they be super outgoing? Shy? Overly friendly? I really don't know what to expect and its making me anxious. What if I don't fit in at all and I'm stuck there with no friends for six months? That would be awful. Not only am I afraid of the people going with me, I am afraid to leave all of my friends. What if they replace me while I am gone? What if my coworkers forget about all of our fun times together? What if I come back and I'm alone? What if my dogs forget who I am? All that I can be sure of at this point is that I am going to really miss all my friends at home and my pets. Now only 8 Days until it all begins.

Today was the day.



Lets be honest, I have come full circle on the whole Katimavik thing. When i first applied I was accepted and then I dropped out. I didn't think it was worth it to leave my life behind, but now that I'm graduated and working full time at Dairy Queen my thoughts have changed. Even though I am a supervisor I now realize that this isn't what I want to be doing for the rest of the year. I have this amazing second chance to go do something. and this time I'm going. I have been counting down the days to find out where I am going to be living for six months. I was REALLY hoping for Iqaluit, but I got Huntsville Ontario which is also good. I looked at  few pictures online and it looks nice. Also my dad, who is formerly from Ontario, says that its in a really nice part of Ontario so now I'm pretty excited. Now only 84 days until it all begins.
