Oh god... And now the panicking begins! Yesterday (18th September) I decided it would probably be for the best if I begin to pack. There was me thinking that it would be easy and I'ld be finished in no time. Aye.... Was I wrong hi! Well lets begin with how Ryanair now only allow you to check in a total of 15kg and ONE of my bags is already over that. I really do believe that the main ambition of that company and it's shareholders is to fuck people off... Not only are their planes small, smelly and dirty but their staff are the most miserable bunch that your life could be in the "safe" hands of.... I hate Ryanair. So anyway half of my clothes and personal items I as hoping to be able to take away with me but it doesn't look like its going to happen anymore :( Rage on a page... In a cage.
Other than that I'm all set though! Apart from this presentation they want me to do on Ireland/Derry. I keep forgetting about it and I'll need to download PowerPoint onto he laptop to do it! Oh god.... I better get onto that after I finish this. But in my defence I have been awful busy the last few days. I've had to say goodbye to all of my friends and throw a party and pretend that I'm busy so my mother can't tell me off. It's a hard life...
The last week has basically been dedicated to saying goodbye to anyone who would let me. Me, Laura, Bernie and Amy all went out on the night of my birthday and had a brilliant time getting me quite tipsy in the beer Garden of the Dungloe.
It was a good night dispite them being an hour late to meet me! And it didn't end there I can tell you... Somehow we all ended up in back in my house and with me "blowing out" colouring pencils in a Swissroll cake that was bought for me in Centra. It was quite the surprise! And I love my girls :)
And that wasn't even my party! The next night I had a gathering in my house as a going away/birthday celebration. It's officially the best party I can't remember.... God bless the poor individuals who were attending and don't drink because they were the only sobber people in the house. But they were able to enjoy Anna's BEAUTIFUL cake. In true Anna style she pulled out all the stops and made officially the great cake I have ever laid eyes on, never mind the tastiest! I love my cat cake :) I wish I could add a picture but I don't have one on me computer at the moment. Rest assured though that it was very impressive! Other highlights of the night include me and Anna singing our own version of HSMs Breaking Free in the garden (no doubt waking all the neighbours), me and Anna singing Unforgettable in the garden (waking the neighbours again) and singing something (no idea what though) in the living room (waking the dead). I had a brilliant night and cheers to everyone that made it! You all stars :D
The next night me and Clare went out for a night on the tiles! Keep in mind that my alcohol comsumption for the week was at an abnormally high level. Clares night out wasn't going to help.... We did only get tipsy though and ended up in the Strand Bar (as all nights should end) trying to request cheesy songs to dance too! I got the GREATEST hat of all time from Breffni. I love it.
What else has happened? Oh yes!!!! The last quiz! Brian (the quiz master) basically MADE my night saying "Right well this is the last time you're going to have to listen to this for the next 10 months.... [plays D:reams "Things can only get better"]. I'm going to miss the quiz :( It's a shame we lost!
Well I guess that's my last week in Derry lads! Next time I'm going to leaving a blog I'll be in Slovakia (or the Airport... It all depends on how bored I get tomorrow).
Love the lot of ye and I'll write again soon :)
Cheerio!!

11 days....
So I decided it probably was for the best if I begin to set up my blog now before I completely forget.... This is the 10 month Drought! An account of my next 10 months in Slovakia and away from Anna Drought (whom, yeah whom... look at me being all fancy :P, this blog has been name after) and all my other friends and family who I wouldn't see. So lets begin!
I haven't started packing, my insurance hasn't been organised, I don't have anywhere to live when I'm over there but I am over the moon that my flights have FINALLY been booked. Honestly this is the most organised I have ever been.... though mainly because I haven't been actually organising every and the majority of the work involved is done by my sending and hosting organisations.... SO I'm not really not very organised at all, and seeing I only have 11 days until I'm leaving on a jet plane (see what I did there Perpetua and Bernie ;)) my sending and host organisation need to get some work done. Luckily I'm not the type to panic! yay!
Any ho! Thanks for reading the first addition of the 10 month Drought! Hopefully I'll remember to do a few more!
Cheerio :)
