Scary

Having booked my flights yesterday, the reality of what is ahead is beginning to dawn on me.. in 4 weeks' time, I'm going to be packing up the last of my things to take away with me. The whole idea is very bizarre, because it doesn't quite seem real yet!

On Monday 24th August, at around 15.30, I'm going to arrive in Switzerland, and I'll probably not leave there until mid-October or November, because I'm going to concentrate on making people come to see me, as opposed to me going to see them-- I think it'll make settling in easier, as I know for sure that I'm going to miss people a hell of a lot.

On the plus side, when I go, Jay is coming with me and staying until 2nd September. I would love to have him stay longer, but realistically, I think it's better that I don't get used to him being around in Switzerland, because when he goes it'll be even worse. At least this way he helps me to settle in and stuff but I won't get used to him being there when I come back from work! I intend to import him to see me before his university term starts, or slightly after it, once I'm good and settled, and have some money (haha). After that I'll be happy to be a hostel for waifs and strays travelling from the UK, although I couldn't possibly guarantee that I'll have any furniture.
