What a week…
Posted by Elisa on Friday May 28, 2004 Under UpdatesWell…It’s Thursday night and I am EXHAUSTED…unpacked and EXHAUSTED. As I sit here in front of the PC, continually ripping my CD’s into my IPOD, I am staring at a pile of clothes in which I am striving to fit into my backpack…GOODLUCK!!! Oh well, it shall be an interesting experience.
This whole week has had one theme and that it to tie up loose ends. Which I believe I have done a majority of. (With the exception of one insane thought that Amachi would be pleased to hear I am not going entertain) I still need to make a trip to the NRMA, finalise my resume, and close a bank account. Aside from that all is well. I have said my farewells to many, though I have missed out on a few. Silvana, Shazz, Dave. I never did make it to the city this week.
Monday night I rocked up to my Ats (sis) and Sue’s abode and bugged them for old times sake. I spent my Tuesday with my Ats, where we had FUN choosing NanItch…who has been chosen to be my companion.
Wednesday was spent doing last minute shopping, and blood donating. OUCH! Thank you Ross for keeping me company! You helped keep me brave. I coffeed with the girls one last time. It’ll be weird not going for coffee at Seedy anymore after work. I had dinner with my Amachi, whom I’ll miss very much. You better be using that e-mail address you’ve set up for me. On the way home I picked up Hyl-IS. We borrowed DVD’s and hung out with Lorraine, Mutz, and Ann…with the addition of Nigel who came much later. Today I spent most of it with Val and we had a blast. We lunched, drove to Fairfield (I got us lost), got my hair cut, talked talked talked. Grabe Val, daldal natin noh! After which I dashed over to Chana’s house for dinner, where I got to say goodbye to her Mum. Whom I called Mum from our highschool days to now. When that was finished I picked up Jill and Mutz and headed for Rashays to meet up with Ann, Ross, and Hyles!
In my last days what I will remember most is the quality time I have had with my nearest and dearests. Hanging out with the young girls, Mutz, Jilly, Hylin and Lorraine (if even briefly). Spending one on one time with my Ats, and Stitch. Dinner with Amachi. Car rides home with Ross and the conversations that took place in them. My midnight chat with Nige. Ann’s constant presence. My revealing day with Val, where we got the chance to get to know each other even better. See you in Switzerland Val and Vlad!!!
Tomorrow, as the others come by to bid the last of farewells, it’ll be weird I’m sure. Emotional at the very least. I can’t believe tomorrow’s my last night! Oh my GOSH!!!
Anyways, better start packing…
