| My life as a working hobo! |
7 weeks until the move to The NetherlandsWell, there's only 7 weeks now. I can't wait until 15th June when I finally get to visit my school in Amsterdam. Have been chatting to a few of the 12 of us going out to work there, online and they all seem friendly enough. In particular a girl called Dina, she's really nice. We've already agreed to find a salsa class in Amsterdam to go to and were going to see if the head will let us run dance as an extra curricular subject together.I just can't totally shake the nerves though. Most of the time I'm just really excited and I know in my heart I won't look back. But every so often like today, the fear just hits me and I end up thinking what the hell am I doing! But thankfully, I'm quite a logical person and so logic kicks in quickly and I remember that its an opportunity of a lifetime, it doesn't have to be forever unless I want it to be. I think thats what scares me as I know in my heart that I'm unlikely to return to Britain to live for a long time if at all and I think that scares me a bit. I'm hoping after I've done my visit things will feel more comfortable, especially as I should have made some freinds with my new collegues particuarly those in the same boat as me who've never lived abroad before, its been nice being in touch with them on the net already as they all say their excited but nervous so it makes me realise its not just me being a wimp. My friends and family however, are being really supportive even if their words of we're gonna miss ya etc. make me feel loved but also make it a little harder to leave them behind. I have some excellent friends and I just hope I make good friends in Holland. Mam keeps saying I might even meet the man of my dreams out there as I've not had much luck in that department so far. Anyway, suppose its time to go to sleep. Been to my head of departments 30th Wedding Anniversary tonight and my feet are killing from dancing so much, but it was great fun. But if I don't sleep now I'll never make it out of bed tommorrow and I want to make the most of my last days holiday before I return to work on Monday. 01:18 - Sunday 1 June 2008
