I hate planning stuff, especially long-term kind of stuff. I'm at the tail-end of my degree now, so people are asking me what I'm going to do after that. Well, this is my half-thought out plan.
The first thing I'm going to do is go on my trip. Funnily enough, I only realised the other day the day I fly out the exact day my final study period officially ends. I thought there'd be a about a week difference. That means I won't have to rush around trying to get assignments finished early.
I originally wanted to do my trip earlier this year, but it didn't happen for a number of reasons and I'm glad, because it would have been a rushed job in booking everything and this way I'm taking time to research, book and budget etc.
I'm excited to be going on my own, but there are some things I'm worried about. I'm worried I'll forget something or they won't like the look of me for some reason and they won't let me out of the country, or into Mexico or Peru. I'm worried I won't have enough time to get through customs at LAX to make my connection to Mexico. I'm worried I'll get stuck next to a group of toddlers on the flights over. I'm worried I'll lose my passport, I'm worried my cash card things won't work. I'm worried I'll get robbed or kidnapped or scammed somehow. The tour itinerary warns us to make sure the airport pick-up people are carrying officials Geckos logos because people get scammed and taken off with :|. I'm worried I'll run out of money, I'm worried the tours will be crap, or I'll get food poisoning or I'll accidentally drink the tap water and die.
But mostly I'm looking forward to it. lol.
I have about four days in between tours to do whatever I want, which gives me time to go to a few little explored places like Coba and Ek Balam and I also want to go parasailing near Tulum in Mexico. But I'm worried about booking day tour things to do them because their websites are either in Spanish or are in poorly translated English. I'm going to the travel agent to sort it, because at least if they're crap I have someone to blame. heh.
So after six weeks (assuming they let me in and out of all these countries), I get back and then I'll have to really get stuck into the job hunt, not only because I'll be broke, but because I have to get out of Gloucester.
Where will I go? What will I do when I get there? Well, my plan is to find a job and go there. Yep, that's it. That's my entire plan. I'm willing to go anywhere but Sydney, but will go there for the right job. What kind of job do I want? Well, that's interesting. Is it possible to not hate your job? I hope so, because I really want to take time to make sure I get one I won't hate. One that pays me enough so that I'm not working just to pay bills. I do have a plan in regard to my dream job, but it's going to be very difficult and I don't want to jinx it so I won't say too much about it until I have something to say about it. :\.
In the meantime, I have to finish off the damn degree first and unluckily, I am not enjoying my final two subjects so far. But there's buttloads of work to do, so back to it, I guess.
