Lets Start where it started
4 months ago i was chatting with my cousin on msn and as i was asking her about her plan of akshara[1], she suddenly just asked, "why dont i go too". i thought it for about 1 minute and i thought, "hell! why not?". So as soon as i decided to do so by the next day i was already at the sojnut[2] asking what do i need to do:
- Fill out a bunch of papers for the visa
- Fill out a bunch of papers for the sojunt
- Fill out a bunch of papers for the scholarship
- Go to the doctor for a phisical evaluation and some vaccines.
- And go to a therapist for an evaluation (i did the list just to make a funny on this point)
Well... finishing with this chapter, i finished with all the requirements but accidentally missed one last physiological evaluation (i forgot, and i don't care if you believe me or not). So that's my last worry (since I'm not completely sure if it was needed or not).
Now moving to the present
So today im 4 nights away from leaving for more or less a year (though that's the plan it could also extend up to MAX. two years... i doubt it). And this is the longest, farthest and most independent trip away from home I've ever planned. So i have mixed feelings about it, I'm not sure if im excited, worried, scared, impatient, happy, angry or all of the above.
Im still packing, to finish, im just waiting for a call from the travel agency to ask if i can take 2 bags and what would be the cost for extra weight or extra bag.
I still need to buy some things and get some other stuff together. which I'll write down right here for everyone's enjoyment (Though everyone at this moment is pretty much myself).
- Buy deodorant
- Buy Allergy/Asthma Medicine
- Get my international student card
- Buy some drops for my eyes
- Get sun glasses
- Get electric converter (probably will buy it at the airport)
- Find a small lock i bought (or but it again)
- something something something
- Not Going crazy
- putting myself together (i feel like im a small mess at the moment)
WELL! at last and more than likely least
Adios. Write you lateR!
p.s. i feel im sending a card in a bottle to the ocean hoping that someone will read this but pretty much knowing that probably nobody will.
[1]Akshara: Is a custom often practiced by my religion where as a young man or woman you leave to a far away country to identify yourself, relate to our people and be independent. (i don't know the actual meaning)
[2]Sojnut: Just the name of the institution organizing this "religious" expirience (it has an actual meaning which i dont know either)
