The Countdown

So many countdowns have begun.

I've begun counting down the days until I'm done at Costco. So are all my seasonal co-workers. Most of them gave notice awhile ago, so they're done in a few days. I've got 12 days left. I have tomorrow off, as well as three days next week (should I chose to accept all those days off, and not ask for more shifts). That makes only 6 more days of work that I have to attend. That's not very much at all. 40ish hours. Over two weeks. I'm ready to be done there.

It's been a good time at Costco, and all that. I'm just ready to go back to school. Well, not _ready_. I haven't done the customary school supply shopping, buying lined paper, pens, and all that. I also don't remember which classes I'm taking, if I'm going to be working a part time job, rockin' StuCo, Collegium host, or what. Too many decisions, too much fever.

I've also been counting down the cost of apartment, food, school, etc. Trying to figure out how much I need to save, how much I need to work if I don't save enough, the timeline of the financial situation. How much debt I am already in, how much I want to be when I graduate, and how I get from point A to point B.

Raych has been counting down the days until she comes back to Canada. I want to know if it's financially possible for me to leave Canada.

I'm sick of this continent. I've heard too many stories of too many different places for me to not be fascinated and interested. I want to travel with nothing but a bag and a desire to keep moving. Beyond that, I don't care. Europe, Australia, South America, or eastern states. Don't care. I just want to move. I'm tired of staying put.

Too many thoughts, not enough time. I've sat here all day waiting for the WoW 1.12 patch to come through, and work. They really ought to restart my server. I want to hit up the BG. Cross-realm means less wait time for pure pwnage. Let's rock this roast tonight, aight?

w0rd.

Seriously I need to get out of here. It's driving me crazy. I want a hotdog. Mmm.. hot dogs.

i want to get out of here too. as in canada. or this continent too. lets go back-packing, it's cheaper and more adventureous than the average joe adventure. annnndddd i really want to get out also. it's kind of like i feel cooped up. did i spell that right? oh well. i want to go to ireland, and go and sleep on the hills, and listen to an irish jig, and then dance in a green pub. want to go with me? i need to go with some friends. that would be sweet-os!
