leaving on a jet plane

So I'm finally off to Toronto then.

It's funny how the reality of this kind of rushes into your face, no matter how much you think you've prepared for it. I'm thrilled. I'm scared. I'm sitting here at home yet I'm already feeling the first twinges of homesickness.

I will never comprehend why some people would actually want to leave all this behind. I realize now, that no matter how twisted it may sound, and no matter how aimless I may seem, the truth is... I love my life. I love the people who surround me. I love this country, despite its blasted goverment offices and all.

Sigh. I already feel lonely just thinking of the months stretching ahead.

So... wish me luck. Drop me a note. Keep me company, even if I'm thousands of miles away.

I'll see you in June. :)
