Well, there are three weeks and only one day left before I leave for Madagascar. I'm still not quite at the excited stage as yet. Mostly, I'm at the 'oh my god I've got so much to do before I go' stage, which I imagine will persist right up until twenty-four hours before I leave. From then, I expect I'll transition into the "oh my god, what am I doing, I'm leaving my cats and house for a whole year to go and live on a beach with no internet access or mobile phone" stage, which hopefully will wear off by the time I actually arrive on said beach.
In fact, that's the thing I'm most excited about and interested in. How exactly am I going to cope without my usual support networks, the social interaction via electronic and telephone means. Without writing ridiculously long emails to my cousin on a daily basis. and without being able to text her, or anyone else when I'm in a bad mood and need cheering up. I'm interested, scared, but yes, also excited about that. What will I find out about myself? What will I learn? Will I fall apart? will I flourish?!
Only time will tell. But until then, I've still got half a house to pack, (well, more than half), a whole load of first aid kit to buy and a whole load of other 'todo' things to accomplish
