Preparation Station

So, you know what's fun. Being on a time table trying to figure out all the things you should take to live on the ice for 6 months. How the hell can I figure this out. I've got plenty of guidelines and suggestions from various people. Also, weight limits for airlines don't help... DAMN YOU AMERICAN AIRLINES!!!

Anywho...

It seems that I miss read what some of the reactions I got. Everyone is happy for me, in case that was unclear. Many people are even jealous. The thing I guess that was bothering me yesterday was the idea that people are going to be said to see me go. I don't deal with things like that well... I know that it's all the "we love you, be safe, have fun, we'll miss you" type of thing, but I just wish people would save that stuff for after I'm on the plane. I know better though.

For the record, I know my pre-flight jitters are not very interesting for any of my readers, but you'll get over it and this will get more interesting soon... especially with the forth coming birthday adventures in Christchurch  entry. I cannot promise a sober entry from whatever hotel I'll be in that night.

maybe take it as a compliment that so many people love you and will miss you while you're gone? i understand what you're saying. we want to express our love before you leave though, or at least i know thats the case with me. i guess i shouldnt speak for everyone. anyways...i'll try to keep it to a minimum. i also know that if we end up taking you to the airport instead of your dad, part of megans purpose for coming with us is to keep me from beind sad so that you wouldnt get upset by it, so rest assured that if we end up taking you i'll be cool lol. i know you'll be back soon enough. anyways...stop stressing. you'll be there soon enough and have a whole new set of things to worry about and the you'll find a groove and everything will be ok and it'll be over far to soon.
