Once upon a time starts now.

Wow, its Friday morning on August 6th and I can not even contain my emotions at all right now. I'm bursting with excitement and anticipation. Last night Nuge came over I began my celebrations for going to Canada with a few beer, all while chatting with Prymack on Skype for several hours about how amazing our lives are. I could barely sleep last night just thinking about all of the unreal events that are going to occur over the next few weeks. I'll start with my day today. Well, currently I'm packing (but of course I left it until the day before) while listening to Bruce Springsteen. Then I'll head to the bank to make sure I have some moula in the ol' Canadian account and perhaps I'll stop by my school to print off my itineraries (even though I'm suppose to be desk warming all day.) Then I'll go pick up a few last minute things such as Soju and by this time Diana and 3 of her friends should be arriving at my doorstep to begin vacation celebrations! Tomorrow morning I'll head out around 5:30 am to catch my flight to Vancouver where Xandi will greet me with love and long missed Canadian beer and food. After a 24 hour crazy adventure with her, I'm back on a plane to go to no other than PEI!!!! I arrive Sunday at 10:30pm and have about 14 hours to prep for Denise's Stagette! From here on out my weeks will consist of being a bridesmaid in my best friend's wedding, spending quality time with my family, going to the beach, and drinking lots of Keiths. I have my fingers crossed and high hopes that Ashley, Jen and Meehan will be making a trip to PEI which will be a gongshow! Then on the way back to Korea, I take over Vancouver for another 24 hours! It is seriously going to be the best two weeks of my life and it all begins NOW!

I don't know if I'll even have time to go through reverse culture shock because I'm going to be on a high the entire time. However, some things I'm curious about are:
How will my body react to an all Canadian diet?
Will all of the English drive me nuts?
Will I be able to keep my emotions in tack or will I be a roller coaster and cry at the drop of a dime (obvi happy tears)?
What changes will my family see in me?
How will people at home have changed?
What will it be like not to sleep on a bed of nails?
Will I ever sleep at home?
Will I be a cheap drunk again considering liquor in Korea sucks?
Will my lungs go into shock with all the fresh air?
Oh man, the list goes on.

I can't help but picture my arrival in the Ch'town airport, because its pretty easy to remember its small layout haha. I know my entire immediately family will be there, but I wonder if there will be anyone else that surprisingly shows up. My god I would die if it was Ellen Rice, hint hint.

I'm pretty much going insane, an entire year has passed without being in Canada for Christmas, the Olympics, Curtis' graduation, two of my best friends getting engaged, my cousins finally moving off the island, the summer and so much more. Its very hard to believe that I did it, and even harder to believe the time is finally here to be going to my home and native land! I'll be back in two weeks with the freshest smile anyone has ever seen and I'm sure the enthusiasm that I can conquer the world haha. Until then, anyone who is reading this can live vicariously through me cause you can be sure I'm having the time of my life!

Tonight I'll shave my legs, do my nails maayyybbbbeee shower and I would say ONE MORE SLEEP but who knows if i'll even go to bed tonight... CANADA HERE I COME!!!
