Any thoughts?

The more I think of it, the scarier it gets.

Maybe the trick is not to think at all. Maybe I should just take off as soon as I can in order to avoid all the possible, numerous and sure-to-happen incidents involving people, places and events.

People ask me how I cope with the idea of moving so far away...


Well, first of all, it's not an idea - it's happening. And secondly, I have no idea whatsoever.


How am I supposed to cope with it? How am I supposed to prepare?


Now everyone's so eager to hang out and meet up and hit it off, and the only thing I can think of is it's only going to be harder and harder.


Don't get me wrong - I'm doing this! It's what I've been working for and what I've been looking to. But that doesn't mean it's going to be hard as hell.


I honestly can't imagine my life down under. Even as I was leaving for India, I had an image of how it all worked and what it looked like, so when I got there, it was more about recognizing familiar situations than actually experiencing my own. It's weird.


And even though I've heard so many stories about Australia, this really is a big step. My head feels like a frisbee (or maybe a boomerang, to be more precise) and I can't seem to collect my thoughts.


There's just this long list of things I need to sort out. The problem is I have no idea where to start!


I just grabbed a plastic bag to start cleaning up a bit (so that I can get to the stuff I need to pack) and what I did was empty the trash can and leave it by the door. That's it.


It's gonna be a looong way...
