ha. ha. ha.
So, eleven months to plan this, of course I am running around like a chicken with my head cut off to get everything together in time for a week tomorrow.
Laurel's awesome list of goals for the next two months:
- Develop hilarious tan lines (preferably on the feet)
- Shower as often and as thoroughly as possible (I suspect the opportunity may not arise very often)
- Gain the ability to talk to strangers without turning into a tomato
- Get skinny due to economically-induced starvation
- Lose something really important, so that I can learn just how unimportant certain things are
- Have the above not be my passport, credit card, or all of my underwear in one go
- Learn how to take awesome pictures of myself (necessary for June)
- Perform the I-don't-speak-your-language-and-you-don't-speak-English-but-how-do-I-get-somewhere dance at least once per destination.
- Not attempt the above dance in the UK. Where they speak English.
- "whilst living out of a 50L backpack i want to discover that i am a minimalist at heart so that i can return home and throw away all of the useless junk that is cluttering up my house but i can't bring myself to get rid of right now." [facebook, Feb. 3rd] (Haha, I have had goals longer than I have been physically preparing for this)
- Gain visible musculature from carting my life around on my back
On the flip side, I so cannot wait for summer. I am wearing a tank top today, guys. SO cannot wait.
