Ai Ai Captain, we'll be setting sails tomorrow at 8am!

This is my last post before my departure. I am currently chit chatting with my SN Manager in Indonesia, PD. Super nice girl and I am really looking forward to meeting her. We had a good discussion about toilets and clothes, so my angst is not as high as it used to be...

To tell you the truth, I am not scared that much of this trip. I am excited and nervous because I never had a visa in the past. And I never travelled for such a long time! I will leave my home at 8am on January 3rd and arrive in Surabaya at 10am on January 5th, but that is the equivalent to 10pm on January 4th (Montreal time). And then the time difference will most probably screw me over! Bahhhh, we'll see in what state I will be on my arrival!

I have been running around today to start and finish my luggage. I had everything ready, but packing is a whole different story! And as most of you know, I am the bag lady, but I managed to pack pretty well thanks to my mom! Luggage is a bit overweight...ahhhh well!!!

Anyways, as I mentioned to some of you, this experience is the springboard into my international career. AIESEC, the circumstances of my life and the many classes I took prepared me for such an adventure and I can feel it. I am usually a stressed person in normal times, but up to now, I have been taking this experience pretty calmly. I know it will get done in due time! I guess I am already prepping myself for a different way of thinking! I have done a lot of visualization, a technique IAS and I spoke about when we were living together! It is very interesting and it is a bit calming actually!

Anyways, I have to go do my ten thousand things, so I wish you guys all the best for the next couple of months and keep me updated with the stuff happening in your life. Don't forget me because that is what is the hardest when you come back and during the reintegrations process. I promoted this blog a lot, so I hope you'll write a lot too!

Lotsa love,
