Welp
In about a week and a half I leave the country for... a year, I guess? It's all shockingly open-ended - I have a ticket that goes from here to the UK, then on to the US, then back to the UK three months later. And then that's where my tickets stop, and I have to decide what to do then.
I'm trying very hard not to think about it too much, on the whole.
I guess I'm not really very good at changes, so about the only way I can seem to manage one is to make some big vague plan for the future and then just sort of roll with it at the point where it becomes inevitable. Although, in all honesty, I can't really credit this as too big a thing - I've got enough money saved up that if things go pear-shaped I can simply quit on it and head back here earlier than my currently stated goal of a year hence (it also helps that I get on well with my folks, so I could stay with them until I find a new place/job/etc).
In the meantime I've been writing, but just not really for here, and not as much as I'd have liked given I finished work a week ago. It's amazing how quickly you can fall into wasting entire days, especially when you're putting a lot of effort into not thinking about something.
