The beginning of the end...

OK so maybe this title is slightly dramatic, I am not leaving permanently, however it feels like I'm making preparation to leave one life and start another...gahhh. I can't even organize my thoughts properly, never mind the list that continues to grow as I sit at my mindless job, of all the things I need to do before my year long adventure.

How does one really determine what they will need during a year of their life??? OK yeah I know I can buy things there, but I worry that I will realize I forgot that ONE thing I can't live without, but didn't know I couldn't live without until I didn't actually have it....

So many things have changed in the last few weeks...life plans, personal relationships, friendships...and I haven't even left yet...

On a completely different subject, I have come to the conclusion that everyone on earth should work a customer service job in their life time...I think this would make the world a more harmonious place and people would think twice about yelling at a call centre agent for something they have no control over...

CS job: I worked for the City of Toronto last summer in the urban planning dept. I had to walk around to 100+ businesses each day (alone)and ask them stats questions. Most people thought I was trying to deport them, shut them down or sell them something. I got everything from "what are you selling, your body?" in the train yards in Scarlem to "Fuck off you daft c*$t". I think I was in an Irish section that time :P I feel ya!

Korea: YAAAAAAAY! Don't worry, it seems scary, but once you get here you realize that people don't forget you, you make a ton of money, and there's always something to do. And the little rugrats actually kinda grow on you.
