Current mood: reminiscing about my reaction of my 'no plan' idea.

Pennies for your thoughts?

Hey everybody! OK! so I've just bought a one way ticket to Vancouver in July...have absobloodylutely no friggen idea what the hell I'll be doing, where I'll be staying but I'm really loving the no plan theme popping up here. All I have to do is calm the hell down...my heart was pounding at a 'heart attack' rate....breathe in and out....and screeeeeeeeeeeeam!!!!! holy shit...what have I done!!!!....normal reaction to a random unplanned decision don't you think? what say you?

Let's do a recap shall we? Alrighty then. I am Kiwi born and moved over to Sydney in Jan of this year. I have taken this entire year off to free myself of the burn out sensation that accompanies university studies, you see, I've been at university for 8 years and I've come away with 2.5 degrees (have 1 year left on one of the degrees and if anybody asks, I don't have an addiction to degrees) specializing in Biomedical science - cellular and molecular biomedicine and Genetics ( and yes I love it). I moved over to Sydney because I got into the graduate program of Medicine which requires an extra 4 years of my life. I spoke to a few professors and friends in Auckland who are all in the medicine and Health field who told me to slow down, take a years break and then go back into it. So I did! I took this entire year off...at first it didn't go so well because of the schedule I was familiar with....lectures-study-eat-lecture-study-eat-beer beer beer (whaaaaaat?) but I slowly got use to it as the weeks went on.

It's now September and I thought that because I had dedicated 8 years to study that I owed it to myself to have fun. My cousin's who basically dared me to do something out of character as they thought that I couldn't do anything without a plan or a to-do list to run off...which is ridiculous because I'm the crazy one in our family, I just like to make to-do's as something to run off...like a draft...not really sticking to it.....seriously....true story and after months and months of heckling me...my cousin's bought their ticket to Vancouver in July...then I followed shortly after to...bloody hell...I have no idea....then vomitted....then passed out and a dozen Steinlager's later.......yeeeeaah....noooooo still the same...freaking out!

So to sum up: I'm taking 2 years off and plunging into the no plan theme that's beginning to pop up and freak me the hell out...so far so good. Work work work til Jan 24th and then leave on the 29th!!.

I find that when you don't have a plan life seems to surprise you....I could end up being there for more than 2 years! both scares and excites me...I like not knowing.

That's it for me....so I best be leaving...otherwise I'll pass out on the keyboard and wake up with a killer head/neck ache.
