So this is the day before I leave to go to South America, and I feel very organised, being completely ready to go before 5 minutes before I have to leave. Having said that, I do feel like I've forgotten to do something really important, like pack my toothbrush or something. Oh well.

So I'm sat here listening to my gap year playlist (which I almost entirely stole all the song ideas from my gap year buddy Leah who left last week), feeling a bit bored because I thought that I would have a lot more to do by now.

But I'm not nervous. At all. If you'd have asked me about a week ago when i was still working I would have said I was nervous about the amount of stuff I have to do, but now I've done everything, I'm not nervous or excited because I just can't believe I'm going. It just feels completely surreal. I feels like tomorrow I'll have to wake up hideously early and go to work breakfast at the hotel (not that I did breakfast that often - I tried to get out of it as much as possible). Not that I have to go down to Heathrow and get on a plane to go to South America. It just feels weird whenever I think about it.

So anyway, I'd better go so I can, erm, do nothing. Probably go and watch Friends which is basically what I've been doing for the past 4 months when I've not been working and my friends have all been at Uni. Either that or watching period dramas with Leah.

Next time I write I'll be in Quito, practically fluent in Spanish. Obviously. Even though I've been working with quite a few Spanish people for the past 4 months and now know about 3 words. I don't think that learning languages is one of my talents. Never mind.
