Realisation

Things which make my impending trip seem more real:
- I finished my job. Even when I was temping, I always had work for the next week. This week, my work involves packing and goodbyes. Weird.
- My friends have been at family things. Because my family is quite fragmented, I've always celebrated significant events with multiple visits/ dinners/ parties, which meant I'd do a seperate event (or two) with my friends. This weekend I had a family lunch which included some friends. Next weekend I might have some friends at a family bbq. This is also somewhat weird.
- I have put stuff in my suitcase. I am officially packing. And it's scary. Nick got sad (but in a manly fashion).
- I just picked up my ticket. Now I'm really going. Weird. :)
