Afterboom.



T minus 14 days.
Two weeks from now, I'll be on a plane, heading to London. I'm scared and I'm not entirely sure of what I will find there. But I'm so glad I'm leaving this life behind, with absolutely everything in it. Well, maybe not everything. I'm taking with me a couple of friendships I would like to keep. ;)
The new and improved me is ready to take the world by storm and I probably won't stop until every single one of my dreams comes true. Optimistic? Maybe, but I'm so tired of all the negative thinking, I'm determined to change that about myself.

Let's see.
I saw Nowhere Boy this week. The movie about how John Lennon came to be...well, John Lennon. And I must say, my expectations were way too high. The actor playing Paul McCartney was brilliant! Totally my favorite. And John's character came across as highly insensitive to the world around him, though he was trying so hard not to seem that way. The soundtrack was amazing, that I can say. I'm definitely downloading it, as soon as my to-do list gets smaller. All in all, the movie won't blow your mind away and it's not a must-see, but it's a nice way to spend your afternoon. And something that made me giggle? I went with a friend and we were the only two people in the theater. Funny.

My to-do list.
Is huge. Leaving on the 8th of April doesn't give me much time to do things, so every minute of my time is accounted for. I have to go to school and finally get my papers, I have to go to my doctor and get my medical record, I have to pick up my new passport, plus find a bigger suitcase and manage to pack stuff for an entire year there. Impossible? Let's not say that. I just hope my dad won't throw away the rest of my things, seeing as I will be needing them once I settle there for good. I bought my plane ticket today and I found myself smiling. Bittersweet, but a smile nonetheless. I feel like I'm about to bungee jump without a cord and it's exhilarating, though scary as hell. And for the first time in almost forever, I feel like myself again. Like I had been hiding all this time and now it's finally time to set myself free. And wish for the best, of course.

I'm currently staring at my London pictures on the wall. Who would've thought?
Looks like dreams do actually come true. Even for me.


Power song! Or sort of, hah.
