We’re superconnected.

Orrright, so in half an hour I’m going to leave for the train station.
So that I can meet my brother and sister.
In Paris.
France.

All I have left to do is post this, make my bed, ring some stupid courier company about a redelivery, dry and straighten my hair, and smear some makeup on my face.

I have this kick-ass motherfucker of a backpack (50L, yo) sitting on my floor, all ready to go.

Things I will miss over the next four days:
- my ukulele (I’ve been playing it for a while every day and even wrote some neat little songs on it),
- my little cousin Aiden (because he keeps getting better every day), and
- our messy kitchen.

So long for now, Bethnal Green.

Learning how to make the most of your life after twenty-two years of being out of practice.

I’m finally going to “go traveling”.

Honestly, I’ve been in London with my EU passport for over two years and I’ve only left the country three times – and only one of those was to go to Europe – and that was only for a few days for a music festival. (For the record, the other two trips were back and forth to Perth.)
Everyone else goes traveling all the time. All I’ve done since arriving here has been working, mostly full-time, and studying. And faffing around and being discontent about faffing around, doing nothing particularly life-affirming.

So it’s time, dammit.

So here is what of have of my schedule for the next couple of months:

July
23^rd – 26^th = Michael and Kate as house guests
28^th = Train to Paris
28^th – 31^st = Having good tourist times with Emm and Josh

August
1^st = Train back to London
1^st – 7^th = Being awesome with Stace as my guest roommate
8^th = Emm and Josh come back to London
9^th = Field Day (festival) with E+J, among others
10^th = Train with E+J to Brussels
10^th – 12^th = Being tourists with E+J in Brussels
13^th = Train to Pukkelpop (festival)
13^th – 16^th = Pukkelpop with Emm, Josh, Michael, Kate (I think?) and whoever
17^th = Leave Pukkelpop, cry, train to Barcelona
17^th - ?? = Barcelona, then various Spanish places

September
1^st – 5^th = Amsterdam with Stace and Basia
11^th – 15^th = Possibly End Of The Road (festival) - I hope.

Then back to London, where the next semester of my CSM graphic design course starts on the 30^th of September.

Awesome-o.
