jet log

Well, thanks to the switch back to GMT+1 I have been up for the last 21 hours, after having slept just three prior to that, and am just now putting the finishing touches on the Packing for Porto project in somewhat of a daze. I don't believe I will log much more than the previous night's slumber hours if I hope to get up and get accomplished all on the agenda for tomorrow morning, pre-trip.

I think I have everything (READ: Myr is once again living with the constant dread her luggage is over the weight limit). I tried to cut down on the packing, I really did, but having to attend a wedding necessitates several wardrobe additions that would otherwise be left behind on a fun weekend away, ie the dress coat, the pair (and one back-up pair) of FM shoes, the wedding attire of course, the evening bag to go with said wedding attire, the wedding gift, and assorted gifts from Canada for the accompanying party, which have come under certain criticism by some (unnamed housemate!) but that I think I will go ahead with anyway.

Looking ahead it is going to be a very busy few weeks, and after several very positive meetings at work over the last two days I believe this will extend to my professional life as well. I am excited about the up and comings at the office. Over the past week I have fielded many questions as to what I will do next, what my next move will be, where I will go from here. It is inevitable that these decisions are taken eventually, but I must say I am very much enjoying the here and now of it all.

Started Dutch lessons today! Heel lekker! Heel gezellig! I think I will like them very much, and the people in our small group of 8 seem for the most part a fun bunch (save for the over achieving pill-esque Finnish girl who of COURSE worked ahead by two chapters. Having been that person myself at one point in my life it is clear she spends way too much time working in an ass-groove on the couch and not enough time mixin' it up amongst The People. Hmm Evil Myr has surfaced....). Precis.

Must go to bed. Must not have black circles and bags under eyes. Must look cute and lovable. Must have fun above all else. Must pack extra bottle of wine to ensure points 1-4 above....
