My life in a Suitcase, well 2 really and a carry on....

So I've started packing! Argh! Its that close!!! I have reconfirmed my flight as advised to by Ryaniair! Good thing I did, I had the time wrong!!!

Its sooo weird trying to pack for 6 months, really it is. I've never done this, I've lived away from home and here I am about to leave the country for 6 months. What have I got myself in for?

Well so far with the packing its going well. I have one which I will live out of for the first two days as I'm staying in a hostel, thats the small one in front. The second is all the big stuff. Then my carry on is going to have all my reading material which I will post about later!

Its strange to try and pack your life away. I have a friend who told me he cry's everytime he packs. Now for someone who was raised camping, thats strange cause that would involve me crying every weekend for the summer!!!

Procrastination...
thats what this is. I dont want to pack. I hate packing always have cause i never know what to pack. My lunch was really long today and I think I offered my dad coffee and cake just to delay me having to go back to packing!

I am leaving
I am not regretting taking this opportunity, but I just hate packing, now where do I find a good man servant at short notice :P

Okay I better get back to it before someone notices I'm blogging again....

The morning evening after the night before

Well as I am off to sunnier foreign climes on Friday, I held a a going away 'do' last night. What a fab night it was. All my close friends were there and I was hammered. I started work at 6:45am yesterday but finished at 10:00am as it was my last day and had time in lieu saved up. (5 and 1/2 hours!!) but neways I started drinking at 5:30pm so by midnight i was Locked. I do not have funny stories or anything but I would like to thank those who attended and the results of the night are on Facebook. See the links below.

I am going out New Years Eve if people are wondering if they will see me out again!

Also I hope before Friday to do a series of pieces of places I will miss in Cork.

Goodbye's are getting sadder

Last night I had to say goodbye to a few people ahead of my last Freakscene next week. I was very emotional last night. I wasnt even drinking!!!

Then today I told a girl I used to work with and she welled up when I tild her about me leaving!

Its all so emotional!! Next week I will be worse!

First Birthday Present

I got my first birthday present form my Aunt (also my godmother) and uncle. It had a lovely message on it and I will treasure it. I think its an old Irish saying.

To Stephen
Good Luck in 2008. May god be with you on your travels.
I wish you wings that you can fly away
And I wish you roots that you may come home

Its so nice. I will miss the people here in Cork and Ireland, but not the place.

The long goodbye begins tomorrow!

This post is about saying goodbye. Since this morning walk to work at the ungodly hour of 6:30am this song has been stuck in my head. Granted it is the Paul Brady version in my head but i cant find that so we are stuck with Ronan Keating.

But anyway, this weekend (tomorrow really) sees me getting on a bus and going to Maynooth for YFG National Conference. It will be great so see FG Guys and gals before i leave so this is my opportunity!

Really looking forwrad to it so I wont be posting this weekend! I will either be debating or drinking so its hard to blog while doing them! :P

Have a good weekend all, and I shall return to blogging on monday!

PS expect 1 or 2 posts before I leave for Maynooth
