So it's finally come! I leave tomorrow. I remember months ago thinking to myself to just forget that this trip is happening because the more i dwelt on it, the slower it would take to arrive. And that's exactly what i did. It worked. I forgot about this trip and continued living my life, sorting out issues and trying to stay positive and now, i'm leaving tomorrow. I haven't packed too much because I need space for the purchases that i'll be making there. I keep saying to everyone that i know i'm gonna be spending a lot, but i am actually going to try and shave off my impulses to the mere FANTASTICALLY amazing items. I don't want to 'shop myself out' if you know what i mean. Too much of a good thing is a total buzz kill.  So i depart tomorrow at about 10ish. I've been talking to my friend Sheridan who lives in NY and I think we're gonna meet up on the first night i land. I think i'll be way too excited to be sleepy ( But who knows? ) and she's gonna teach me how to use the subway and how to get around. I've been trying to work out the subway app on my iPhone but i need someone to explain it to me. I don't wanna end up catching some train that goes over the bridge one night when i really need to get back to my hotel.

 

The super great news for me is that i've compiled a list of things to look forward to when i GET BACK. I've always been one of those people who come back from a holiday totally devo because real life is so shit. But it's not like that this time. I'm so glad i've prepared myself well. This sounds weird, but i'm kind of looking forward to getting back because i know New York is going to be so rejuvenating and refreshing. It's just what i need to get the ball rolling again after a... yep, you guessed it. A crappy year. Gonna try and restrain myself in Duty Free even though i'll probably see something i want. Wish me luck that i don't get seated next to someone rude and annoying. I'll post when i land!
