Leaving On A Jet Plane

Time: 7:09pm
Mood: Tired from packing
Song of the moment: Sloan - Try To Make It

I'm leaving in a couple of hours and to be honest I'm not quite ready to leave... mentally. I'm pretty much packed and ready to go.. but I don't know about you, I usually have to be mentally prepared as well. It just seems all so rushed.. I guess it has been rushed. I usually have a good while to get excited about my trip.. but this time I only started getting excited yesterday after I submitted my thesis to the School of Graduate Studies (yea! I'm officially done!!).

Yesterday was nuts.. I was working off of 45 min of sleep (I couldn't sleep!!) I finally sent my thesis out for binding and said goodbye to everyone. The hardest good-bye was to my officemates. I almost started to cry.. I'm really going to miss them. I had such an awesome office :D I swear, we did more chatting and beating up on each other than working! Despite getting only 45 min of sleep I manged to stay up and watch Jimmy play ball hockey, and chill w/ Flo and Kin. I got to bed around 1am.. after I killed a mosquito that was buzzing around my room. It bit me on the cheek :P S.O.B mosquito!! haha now my cheek is swollen :(

I found out yesterday that instead of a 5 hour layover in HK before I head to Seoul, I now have a 9 hour layover :S Holy shit! They changed my flight last minute! So I was contemplating what I was going to do for 9 hours.. I mean it's bad enough that it's right after a 17 hour flight :S Luckily, I got an email from my mom today and she said she was going to come to the airport and keep me company (she's arriving in HK Sat... I'm arriving Sunday). So I feel better about it :D

Alrighty.. gotta get some last minute stuff done. I can't believe I'm going soon! The hardest part is leaving Jimmy for a month.. I hate leaving him :(
