28 days until i make the grand leap. still haven't got my tickets, but will do so next week. i did my final purchases for the trip today. including gravel, bepto pills, tissues travel size, yarn for my last few scarves to make before i leave :(.. i also got this photo album for my family pictures. it holds 440 photos, but! after filling it up, i realize i have to get another one. i'm going through them and i'm laughing and trying to make sense of us in it. i mean, we look so different. i know it was not too far away, but so much has happened.
on the 27th i'm going to hamilton to visit khalid. it'll probably be a lone trip. haven't seen him much, except for the times he'd pick me up from somewhere, we'd exchange short chit chat, then he'd drop me off at home.
he told me, and it had occurred to me that i should see as many people as i can before i leave. i don't need to. i know this. to me, farewells are essentially goodbyes. even though i don't know when i'm coming back, i will see them again. yes, it'll be 10 months in china, and more of whatever number in vietnam.. need to print out that vietnam visa form tomorrow. [but yes, an imprint of how our loved ones are before they leave would be nice..]
tomorrow night is zahra's party. i haven't been out much.. really, and i really enjoy her house parties. i will miss her.. ..
tonight, i came home from work, ate, filled album, watched tv, checked net, cleaned the bathroom (kathy is coming over for the night tomorrow). i've been getting plenty of the people i care for the most in the past couple of weeks. except for john. i have to call him in the next week.. :(
i'm going to miss many..
