because i can...

16 days til i leave!!! yay. excitement. although according to my facebook countdown it's actually 15 days and 13 hours (til my flight leaves).

except that i realised that i've got a bit to do before i leave... hm should make a list. to add to all the other lists i've made... hm.

was thinking about it tonight. the past few weeks seem to have gone really quickly, so i've been kinda just assuming that the time overseas will go quickly too. but thinking about all the stuff that i'll be doing (at least for the france bit) and not knowing what a lot of that is, and knowing that the un-sightseeing (and downtime) stuff is probably going to be somewhat out of my comfort-zone stuff it could potentially seem like a long time, especially for the first time going overseas without family. and then there's my tendancy to get homesick. which hasn't really been a problem in the past few years but i haven't travelled that far away for this long before. shall be interesting. i think i'm fine as long as the people i'm with are good friends who i'm close to and can talk deep stuff with and who know me and can pick up on how i'm feeling... that last one will probably not happen so much (seeing as my family tend to be the ones that do that bit well) but is annoyingly probably the most important in not being so homesick. i think i need to work on communicating better...

mum and dad (and me kinda) are watching 'under the greenwood tree' on the abc at the moment (series based on the thomas hardy book - i tried reading it last year for extension english wide reading but gave up because i didn't have that much time and the language was ridiculously old school). but really all i was going to say is that one of the characters is rather good looking :P seen him on something before... watching it makes me start thinking of all the paradigms and stuff from last year... oh the fun we had disecting everything and over-analysing :P

anywho. twisted plot - everyone likes the one lady (miss day)... she likes the lower class guy (but of course can't be with him 'cause he's under her and can't support her). he's also the good-looking one. and now this other guy thinks she likes him (and proposed) 'cause of what the other guy (who also likes her) said in drunken stupor 'cause she turned him down and saw her talk to this other guy and assumed the person she loved was him. confused? hehe.
oh and the plot just got more twisty. speaking of food i've eaten rather too much this weekend.

that's all. oh and i'm working at dh tomorrow. and really hoping i get more work than just one day.
