During the last few days, I keep telling myself I'll blog today but by the time I make it to the computer, I've already forgotten about my resolution to do so. Silly isn't it? On the spot of an event, I'd think to myself: I have to remember to blog this. When I get to the blogging, I've pretty much lost interest, enthusiasm or even the willpower to recall the memory enough to write about it. When I force myself, the script comes out mundane - no one wants to read something which lacks passion, life behind it.
So we end up here. Months after my last blog with very little to say except, I've been busy trying to pack. It's such an evil, never-ending chore. Packing for a short trip is easy enough but when it comes to packing for good, it gets so painful. More often than not I find things that I haven't seen or used in ages - things that I have forgotten about. Mom always told me that if you never needed it, you don't need it now but there's always this reluctance to let go. Somehow, I always seem to be able to convince myself that I'll need it later which is precisely how I manage to accumulate so much crap. Oh how I wish Edeline was here. She must be magic. I have no idea how she does it all the time. Instead, I find myself doing the sudoku in the daily paper and watching amusing standups like Dylan Moran. That man is a god. Being Irish, he has this really adorable accent and underneath it all, I think he might be a romantic. It's so cute how he refers to children all the time. More often than not though, it comes out as fairly accurate if slightly exaggerated.
I have three days left in Manchester and another two in London. Everyone else seems to feel it more than I do. People telling me that they miss me, people telling me that they regret not meeting up before I go. Most of all, people telling me that time really flies and that it seems only yesterday when we graduated. I will miss them all. That is true. Some more than others but nonetheless, buried deep inside is the innate knowledge that I will see them again. This little gem of information is what allows me to leave with a smile each time. The world is growing smaller with each passing year and technology brings us closer together with every tap on the keyboard. Hopefully soon they'll be able to shorten flight distances so I don't have to spend 13 hours on a plane! :P
