Alright. So it's decided. I'm going. I've decided I'm going to defer my third year of university and I'm going to piss off around the globe like so many before me. See i wanted to go have a year off as soon as i finished school but i had no money and even less drive and basically all i really wanted was to do nothing. So i started uni and told myself that i would go next year in the uni break. But i put that off to. I realise that if i dont go now then i will not do it until im halfway through life having a severe mental breakdown.

I think the actual moment that i decided to go was at work. Goddammed work. Liqour store, same customers every day until one of them occasionaly has to much and threatens your life when you refuse to serve them. But the next day they are back and oh my if they hadn't just had a bad day hahahah by the way sorry about saying i would kill you ahahaha. Well anyway i was at work and the regional boss came into the store. Now this guy is a real f***ing clown. No joke. Rosters himself on for shifts like 8 till 4 and then goes home at 11. Everyday. Then comes down on people for small s*** at work. So i was leaning on the counter reading a book (about backpackers stories, god take me away) and i had just finished a sweet drawing of a japanese koi tattoo that i wanted to get. So clowntown manager comes in, abuses me for reading (no customers in the store and no work to do) then grabs my drawing scrunches it up and throws it in the bin. Then just leaves. That s*** is soooo not on. It was like a schoolyard bully except if it had been at school then he would have a big lip. But its the real world and he was the man so i just said cool man ill see you later and left my drawing in the bin.

At that moment i decided. f*** it. im going. i will work insanely hard till next march and then i will go. My workmate (who i get along with pretty well) and began to talk about a big travel trip and funnily enough his ideas of time and need matched mine. So thats it. its on and poppin and the dream begins.
