So this is it... my last evening at home with my family before I jet off 5,600 miles south to South Africa. Downstairs my 'Last Supper' is being prepared and I will soon be dining with my 5 disciples (well Mum, Keith, Karin, Poppy & Skye, I don't think any of them qualify as disciples, but close enough). My favourite has been made, roast beef and all the timings... oh how I am going to miss my family dinners!
After a frantic day of getting last bits together and lying all my clothes across the bedroom floor, I am proud of say that I still haven't packed! That's right... my plane leaves in 22 hours and not a single thing is in my rucksack. My organisation skills worry me sometimes! However I do have everything ready to go into my bag in the morning so it's not all bad news!
I can't quite believe that tomorrow is THE DAY! The last 10 months has gone so quick with regards to Project Trust, an amazing selection course last October, waiting for letter telling me whether i got a place, parents meeting in London, mid-May placement letter then a change of country from Malaysia to South Africa, training where I meet the amazing people I will be spending the next year with... and now I am here, one sleep until I depart for South Africa!!
Last Sunday I had my leavers party, which was so lovely to see all my friends before I leave but made me realise how many amazing people I am leaving behind for a year. I wish everyone of them the best in whatever they are doing over the next year... I will certainly miss you! However on this next adventure in my life, I will meet some incredible people and learn a whole new way of life.
Leaving my family too will be difficult, I have never been away from home longer than 4 weeks and always relied on them.. but I guess this is a part of growing up and starting my own adventure.
Well I think that's it from me at the moment, I may possibly blog tomorrow morning, if not I will update you all when I arrive in Johannesburg!!
Love to you all. Peace Out.
