So I bought my ticket to Finland on Tuesday.  I'll be gone from December 28th to February 26th. It'll be nice to have winter again. Although this year we're supposed to have a really cold winter here too...but Finland will be colder and things won't shut down cuz of a little snow.

Now that I've bought my ticket I'm nearly panicking. I mean, what if I don't have enough money for two months? Or what if something happens? Or what if...

Yeah. I should just stop thinking. I'll be fine. I've been fine every OTHER time I've gone traveling. I am going to start working over time in november and december, Two months of overtime I think I can manage without going completely fucking insane. Plus it'll be better money cuz I'll be making 12/hr. So time and a half for overtime...that's much shinier.

I realized I'm going to need to buy new shoes for finland. I've already decided the boots I want to buy. So I need a hundred and fourty bucks for those or so. And then I need to buy more sweaters. I saw some cute ones at old navy....but I can't afford to buy anything new, so I'm gonna have to go down to Value Village and go secondhand shopping. Which is okay. Maybe i"ll find something really cool. I'm also going to modify a sweater I already have into a dress. It'll be super cute. I'm gonna try to do that this weekend. I hope I don't completely destroy the thing, cuz I kinda like it as a sweater as it is. It's like HUGE. But if I can make the dress I want out of it, then it'll be worth it.

I did buy a new jacket though. It's felt and knee-length and really really warm. I hope it'll be warm enough for Finland. Although I do have another winter coat, as well. I'm not going to be taking my trench coats. Even though the felt one is pretty warm, it's not warm enough and can get pretty awkward if I have to wear too many layers with it. I need to pick up a backpack. A big one. I'll be doing the backpack thing (with my laptop...lol) so if My sister can't get her hands on the big green pack I need to buy a new one. Which will A) suck cuz it costs money and B)be awesome cuz I can finally buy one I like.

Hmmm.....so that's all i've been thinking about lately. Well, that and Jrock. And how much I wish I was still learning japanese and not Finnish. Guh. This language is so awkward for me.

But. I'm trying. And will continue to try. I will probably STILL be trying when I'm on the plane. Hehe.

Anyway....I have to go get ready for work. I'll try to come by here more often.
