One Month!

Today it's one month to the day until I leave. I'm not really excited or scared or anything yet - I'm still too mired in the details.

I'm off work until I leave, so... *potter*.

I haven't got my travel documents yet, but I do have most of my other stuff all organised. Injections either all done or all underway, pack bought, shorts bought, accomodation mostly confirmed... although I am still waiting to hear about my Indian Visa - they've had my passport for a while now... I knew I should have got a better passport photo! Haha.

I'm still in discussions with IRD (i.e. I've sent them a letter about things they've got wrong and they haven't replied... we're on a limited time-scale here people!). I have yet to call vodafone about what I do with my phone so they don't bill me while I'm away, and there are always other things to do.

Drinking is one of them, yay! Lots of little 'last drinks' with different groups, which is cool, then my big leaving party. And making time to do cool stuff with my Simon, like horseriding. Yay.

Eeek! One month to go.

Vaccinations, check... ow!

I went and got my vaccinations yesterday. While you may not find this terribly exciting, I found it amusing to spend an hour in a nurse's office getting jabbed with little bits of polio, diptheria, tetanus, five flavours of meningitis, hepatitis A and my personal favourite, typhoid fever.

And on the 22nd I add rabies to my collection. Now when you call me rabid, it will be just a little more true.
