Two more days of work as an ICP [intern], and then I'll be officially seasonal
There were times when I hated it here and thought this week would never come, but now that it's here, I'm pretty sad. At least since I'm seasonal the job and perks won't end, but the International College Program is such a once in a lifetime thing: When I come back, I'm not going to be living or working with the same people, my friends will be back at school...
It's been a wild ride and an amazing year.
I think the weirdest part will be going our separate ways from our flatmates. At least we're a lot closer to each other even at home than some people and their former flatmates are. My roomie's already wrestled a promise to visit out of me: Cross-Tasman flights are pretty cheap, and he offered me his brother's old room. (I don't think he's actually asked his brother, but it's the thought that counts, right?)
We leave on Friday. Pukamon and I are headed out to Puerto Rico on a last minute, three day weekend trip thrown together by some of my Spring Advantage friends. After that:
10-13 January: Washington, DC (please please please let the snow have cleared up)
13-17 January: New York City (how's the snowpocalypse, Wallace?)
18-21 January: New Orleans
21-25 January: Los Angeles, by which I mean Disneyland (honestly I just want to milk my cast discounts somewhere else)
25-28 January: Vancouver
30 January-10 February: TOKYO! (If you're wondering where 29 January went, I lose a day going over the dateline.)
I would have loved to spend more time in North America, but I cut them short for Tokyo. Besides, travelling's more fun with more people, and it'll just be me and Pukamon everywhere between DC and Van.
I'll obviously be spending a lot of my time in Tokyo with my family and some of my old friends, but Pukamon and I are definitely keen to meet up with y'all over there if you're not too busy with school and work and everything. Let me know!
