A few of you may be aware of this already, but I'm planning on leaving. On the 17th of November, I'm going to Vancouver for a week. Now, why is this in the discussion forum, you ask? And also you might ask why would I, who has previously spoken out against making posts for short absences, even bother with such a post? Finally, you might also ask what is that god-awful smell coming from the kitchen?
The third one you'll have to do some investigating on your own. Check the milk, and then check for any long-forgotten tupperware containers behind the milk, for a start.
The answer to the first two is because when I leave Vancouver, I'm not coming east, back to Edmonton, but going west (for 12 freaking hours), to the Land of the Rising Sun. For a year, or possibly more (maybe less, but only if things go horribly). I'm going on a Working Holiday Visa (an option not open to peoples of the US), which I'll apply for tomorrow morning.
I'm dropping basically everything I have going here (ie: not a lot), and heading to a place where I know maybe three entire sentences of the native language. Fuck I hope I know what I'm doing.
